Sometimes, mostly if they work in my main pair, ES-EN. Or if they look a bit weird. The other day, there was one who was the doppelganger of my ex, who is also a translator... | | |

I do sometimes. I don't consider it snooping around: it's their professional profile in a professional environment. It's like being introduced to random people at a business meeting, or greeting people at work. | | |

not even my own. But seriously, do you sit here all day and wait for the featured translators to appear to look at them? I am fortunate not to have the time to have to do that. | | |

Some years back a colleague had a fine drawing that I was secretly in love with. He now uses a photo and is less active on this site. Pleasant-looking, but I would probably miss him in a crowd! I tend to ignore straight photos. I have never got as far as changing my own, which is as boring as any. Go figure! | | |

No, but's it's just a question of not having much time to do so. | | |
If the picture or person or language combination seems in any way interesting to me. | |

I remember the first time I got an email to say I was the featured one. I went to see, showed my husband etc. But I haven't reacted to it since, whoever it is. It's just one of the things that happens on this type of site. | | |
