Idioms in translation: It’s not always easy to make ends meet
making ends meet -- click on the image to enlarge
Translating idioms is one of the many challenges translators face on their work. According to the Collins Cobuild dictionary: “an idiom is a group of words which, when they are used together in a particular combination, have a different meaning from the one they would have if you look the meaning of all the individual words in the group”.
Translators should be aware of the meaning of idioms and avoid translating them literally.
Challenge: how would you translate this comic into your source language (provided it is not English, of course) and keep it funny?
Happy translating!

Welcome to translator fun!
Welcome to Translator Fun — a blog for translators willing to share fun ideas and translation challenges.
I’ve decided to start this blog to bring together my passion for translation and my never-ending drive to have fun with what I do.
In this blog you will find comics which by no means depict a drawing talent but are rather intended to reflect on translator’s jargon, working environment, plays on words and stuff.
I hope you enjoy this blog and find it a useful resource to chill out before, during or after work.
Thanks for reading.
Have fun!
Romina
