About Word Packet
Who writes Word Packet and what it covers.
Word Packet publishes short, practical notes on language and translation: where machine translation can be trusted, what localisation really involves, and how to read a foreign website's terms without a dictionary beside you.
Who writes it
The notes are written under the pen name Esther Lund, by someone who works with translated text and has learned its traps the slow way. No professional translation accreditation is claimed, and nothing here is legal advice.
About this address
This domain was previously used by a translation application, and later carried a “coming soon” placeholder. That project is not connected to this site, this site does not continue it or represent it, and no application is offered here.

- Each article covers one idea with steps you can apply.
