On 30th September we celebrate World Translation Day! Find jokes about it below:What do you call a translator who is always on time?A punctual linguist.A linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. âœIn English,â he said, âœa double negative forms a positive.
However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.â
A voice from the back of the room retorted, âœYeah, right.âTwo translators on a ship are talking.âœCan you swim?â asks one.âœNoâ says the other, âœbut I can shout for help in nine languages.â#worldtranslationday
