Maria Dabija is a translator for Global Voices in Romanian. Her translation of the fourth installment of the “Les mots ont la parole” series from French to Romanian has been nominated for the Lingua Translation Spotlight.

Once a quarter, Lingua Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations that deserve a special round of applause. Ioana Dobre, the Romanian Lingua Translation Manager at Global Voices, commented:

I nominate this translation as a thank you to Maria who translated articles from the French-language coverage “Les mots ont la parole.” She's our only translator from French, and I appreciate that she keeps coming back.

Fantastic, Maria! Take a look at her translation on the Global Voices in Romanian website:
