Well, I'm working again and feeling better, thank you. But, I feel for those who have been trapped by this. Not French to English or Swahili to German but techno-speak to lay language. One of the most useful tasks that PR practitioners do is to translate the work of specialists into interesting story angles for the media and a broad readership. Usually this require significant reworking of the original material to explicate the assumptions of the original writer.
Specialists talk in shorthand.
Their argot is a tool to communicate quickly. It is like musicians playing jazz. They know the tune, the key and the riff and talk to one another in melody lines that seem to come from nowhere to listeners. I translate techno-speak by hisotrical accident. I've been hanging around high-tech for years.
