      Mine is that Google Translate replaces translators. I really dream about this. It's as absurd as it's scary! In any case, I reckon than Crados chasing me would be worse.

    Agencies want to be paid for when a translator works for them - a real nightmare !

    I once dreamed that I was at my office, completely naked. Then I realized that it was just the PC, my cat and me, so I continued translating :)

    Worse is when you are a translator married to a translator.

    I would say "Translators' worst nightmare" or "A translator's worst nightmare".

    Not a nightmare but I was once way too tired and writing with a pen and I tried to copy & paste with my finger...
