You’ll find nearly 400 blogs listed on this page. Although most are about translation, I’ve also added some on interpreting and some non-translation blogs related to grammar, writing and editing.
Please feel free to contact me with your suggestions if you think I’ve left an interesting blog out or if a link doesn’t work.
Although this list started out based on blogs in languages I can understand (English, Spanish and German), I’m quite happy to add colleagues’ recommendations in other languages too.
Name in grey = Bulgarian; red = English; purple = French; blue = German; yellow = Greek; pink = Italian; orange = Portuguese; green = Spanish

(year) = year last content was published on the blog
Blogs with no new content in the past five years will be removed from the list.
