hi all,

Do you know any links or references that explain technical issues for practical translating? whether basic or advanced.

things like when to use bracket squares or parenthesis, when and how to add notes when the st is hard to read or misspelled, how to translate stamps, signatures, names and acronyms ...etc any practical issues you might come across when translating

many thank for help
