Who is...

...a professional translator (Hebrew>English), recently retired from an in-house position at an historical museum and archives For further personal info, see User boxes on my main page (since June 2016) at w:User:Deborahjay,secondary at he:משתמשת:Deborahjay.

In other languages

The Babel boxes might be updated, e.g. fr-1.5 and ar-0.25 plus a familiarity with the Cyrillic alphabet and numerous European languages. I do use Google Translate with caution and find the results highly satisfactory.

Previous activity

Reviewing and cleaning up items with possible vandalism identified by the PL bot (16 October 2017)
