What tools do translation professionals use every once in a while?
At this point, I’d say that my paper dictionaries are something that I only use once in a blue moon. That wasn’t the case when I started out: I had back breakingingly huge paper dictionaries in all my languages. And I still do use them very occasionally, but most of the time I have better resources via the internet. I rarely use my fax machine: again, this is something that was crucial when I started out, but is almost outmoded.
