A translation listening music? Do you think music can help you during your translation assignments? Professionals of our field – translation – know very well that translating work requires long hours of concentration. While some would rather work in silence, others soothe themselves with vague musical notes at the background or avoid noises using headphones and putting up the volume. It is possible to translate with music?

Olga Jeczmyk, a translator-interpreter, social media, content manager and PhD candidate in Cognitive Translation Strategies at Autounomous University of Barcelona and with more than 20 years of experience playing the violin, suggests the following selection of music for translators that we hope you find as interesting as we do.
