Quite often, thesis or dissertations published online are a good source of translated terminology that's actually used in the field...
...but sometimes they're like "my sibling in academia, my poor dude - did no-one ever proofread this for you before you handed it in?"
(Like yeah, I get it, you're studying medicine or some other life sciences subject, and at least half your education has been in English, but if you're going to publish this one thing in your native language, the least you could do is to have it read by someone who knows how to punctuate.)
#katajainen works#translation#academic writing#(done poorly)#sometimes I feel like I'm going to live to see Finnish disappear as a language of science#(they're already running English-language Master's programs with no international students which i find ridiculous)#(like: we fought for the right to higher education in this language and now you're tossing it away after barely a century)
