1. When you look back at your early translations
2. When a TEDx speaker asks you to translate his/her talk
3. When you can’t find something on OTPedia or from other online resources again
4. When you take just one more short review/approve task and think that you will be finished in 30 minutes
5. When you have been prioritising TED a little more than you should
6. That moment when the credit error occurs
7. When someone with no experience approves a review task with no changes
8. When you can’t make up your mind which task to take next
9. When you remember the tasks you have started, but never finished
10. When you submit a transcript of a talk in English for the first time
11. When you are one of the few lucky ones to meet your tribe at a TED Conference
12. When your translation gets shared with hundreds of people

Bonus: When a talk you have been waiting for becomes available for subtitling
