Silly ideas go somewhere. Why not this little blog as an extension of the place where missing socks go?

Translation Non Profit

So I am letting my Business Week subscription expire. While it gives me a good handle on current affairs, I have recently just gotten sick of all the hype and B.S that surrounds this mythical "business" culture. Shit we've been running operations for thousands of years, what's the big deal.

Profit.

And that is what gets me. I am just not into it.
And what do I do well

Translation

So add those together: translation non-profit org.

I don't know how you would operate it, fees-wise, but the aim owuld be to provide translation services to government agencies, universities and NPO/NGOs. There are many Japanese laws that have not been translated, and I would like to tap into that as a service for the greater good. There is a group at Nagoya who does a pretty good job, but this could be expanded.

Another idea: higher ed lingo dictionary. Right now, it's all in my head, but a lot it is standard and could be a good service.

I am only thinking in terms of Japan now, but get someone who knows operations, and it could expand.
