Jesus, that made my day!!!!!
Greg Rucka requested some help on Twitter for a French translation.
I was there at the moment so I volunteered and he accepted my help.
I just sent him back the few lines of dialogue and he said I'll have my names in the acknowledgements of the book and he'll send me a copy!
Also, I just jeezed all over my keyboard and screen.

Congratulations! You're being immortalized in comic form for your help.
What was the piece Rucka needed translated? And no bullshit about confidentiality either!

It was a piece of dialogue for a scene occuring in Switzerland. And it's a book, a real book, not a comic.
Now, forever, I can walk up to Greg Rucka and say, "I'm Arnaud, that guy from the French dialogue" and he'll know who I am.

Fall 2010. I'm hoping to meet him at NYCC and introduce myself to him.

Only if you get me to bring breakfast to Cooke so that I get a free Catwoman.

That's pretty cool Arn!
Can you make sure you do every piece of french translation work for any of the big publishers. It would be nice not to see transparant google translations in future books!

I'll have my good friend Greg lobbying for me and throwing my name around.
