Some good has come out of servers downtime...

I cleaned out my keyboard and flipped over my mousepad (which is just a folder I put my mice on)
I didn't even know the servers are down. I'm bogged down with translating a godawful biology textbook without actually knowing the first thing about molecular biology. Eh...

This is a pointless post for most everyone unless they had similar problems and I just wanted to shout it out. I am just excited right now. Please don't make fun of me.

From English to Bulgarian. Be much easier if I didn't have to deal with things like "retroviral oncogene v-erb-B." I don't know what that even is, let alone what, if anything, it translates to.

The good news is that practically no one knows what that means, so you don't have to worry about most people catching your mistakes. 
You need to be careful with something like that though.
I had bought my friend the complete Hokoto No Ken series one year for a Birthday/Christmas present. Unfortunately it was translated from Japanese to Chinese to English. so simple lines like "Smash him flat!!" became "Take a hammer to hit his body!!"
Many lols were had and it's an in joke we have now, but still.

Most science terminology does not need to be translated it's sort of universal.

Especially since English has overtaken German, French, and Latin as the international language of science.
And scientific words in English are just stolen Greek and Latinate words to begin with.

My whole high school wrestling team got staff infections one year from not keeping the mats clean. The coaches and administrators were so embarrassed they wouldn't call it staff. They used some weird super sciency term like "retroviral oncogene v-erb-B" to explain why our team had to miss the last 2 meets of the year.

Staph, or Staphylococcus, the usual culprit in Staphylococcal infections is S. Aureus, bit of a nasty bug, especially in it's Incarnate form where it caps out in resistance to Methicillin.
