One client dubbed me "the cheetah of translation", because I always deliver his texts speedily (and no, it's not because I look like Tarzan's chimp chum)...

Elephant Mar 19, 2017

Not all that fast, but steady and reliable, and once something sticks in my mind it stays there. I remember more than I'd like to.

Also, like some elephants, I'm a wannabe artist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCzH0Mk5s7s).

Cat. Mar 19, 2017

I have a cat as a pet, but this cat couldn't care less about translation. So not sure how it may be related

Could I be a cross of an owl (for the wisdom), a mule (for the sturdiness) and an elephant (for the memory)?

Catdragon Mar 19, 2017

Had to answer dragon given where I'm from, but I'm probably more of a cat - I do things my way and I'm entirely covered in fur.

Dog Mar 19, 2017

I'm a tracker dog, always sniffing out obscure references and following the scent - not one of a pack of hounds, more of a bloodhound.

I'm a total hypocrite, but I'm good at picking up the tone and register of a text and making a parody of it in English.

Depends on my biorhythm

At times I'm a sloth - I just couldn't be bothered.
I'm also a red setter - full of beans and can handle anything.

It depends so much on the situation and circumstance. If you dim the lights, put on some nice relaxing music and crack open a bottle of champers, preferably vintage, I turn into a completely different animal.

That's a great one.

I'm an ant, carrying one little word after the other all day on a well-trodden path. When I'm done, I have quite a heap of them.

Silly, yes Mar 19, 2017

I love animals (most of them) but I really cannot identify with any of them.
