Conference call tales: (
There are 20 mistakes in the following text!)
"I was at a call last week and a colleague's half-naked boyfriend walked behind her," recalls a communications consultant. This experience illustrates the pitfalls of videoconferencing, a technology that thousand workers are getting used to as they attempt to work from home. Some people really need help… In one (genuine) email, a financial services worker is told: "Your page is visible and we can see you all watching porn in between enquiries!"
For many of us, this means going to grips with a whole new way of working. Line quality, technology problems and of course user ineptitude add kershuffle to meetings. Cutting down the number of people involved also cuts down on the amount of unwanted noise. Heavy breathing, sniffing, coughing, dogs and doorbells can all be dispatched by shutting off the microphone with the mute button.
Even without video, conference calls can be revelling:///END OF PART ONE ///"a client was at a call while in the bath, and you could hear splashing and the tap running. He then realised the microphone was off and the phone sliped in the bath. Gurgle gurgle gurgle. He jumped out of the bath to get another phone, slided and fell down the stairs."
Calls need a post, someone capable of bringing the call back on track, when the discussion turns badly. They're in charge of timing, spreading discussion between 'guests', bringing in audience questions, keeping race and energy; » If more than one person speaks at once, which is very common in normal face-to-face human interaction, it can rapidly become inintelligible by video. This is exacerbated if the internet connection is glitchy - which it often is. We are social animals, and as so much of our communication is non-verbal, this tends to be lost on video conferences, something the post needs to care in mind when leading the call.///END OF PART TWO ///
Being filmed in your home is extremely intimate. If you're video conferencing, you'll need to look presentable, at least at the waist up. A BBC camera operator recommends putting your laptop on a stack of books so that it is level to your eye line. (Looking downwards is not very flattering.) In terms of lighting, she suggests having a light positioned slightly upon your face. Of course where you sit says its own story: shots of rumpled bedsheets, the clothes horse and the bathroom should be avoided.
Some people enjoy to hear the background sounds of babies, kids TV and dogs. It's a useful memory we're all human, something which can get lost in a business context. Many businesses are reporting trying to keep normal daily interaction between colleagues: Some host a daily quiz for lunch for clients and staff, a virtual cinema club and yoga sessions. Other companies report eating lunch "together" from their kitchen tables.

Hello Here4U
I didn't find all the mistakes: I prefer making the mistake: that way, I'll memorize more easily
Indeed, the theme was topical and quite funny
J'en profite pour te poser une question : Communication consultant est-il aussi bon que communications consultant et y a-t-il une différence de signification ?

Here are my analyses:
1 at a call = faire escale à s’arrêter à… = faux avec at! To be on a call = être de permanence (Médecins, infirmiers…)
2 thousand = avec tous ceux qui télétravaillent ça m’étonnerait qu’ils ne soient pas plus nombreux… je mets donc au pluriel.
3 Of = thousands of = des milliers de…
4 we can see you all = all of us can see you watching
5 to come to grips with sth = to get to grips with sth [+ problem, difficulty]s'attaquer à qch
(attitude) position (f)
6 kershuffle = FAUX ! Kerfuffle = bazar, chahut, désordre.
7 Revelling = se délecter, s’amuser. Reveal = révéler, trahir.
8 microphone was off : pourquoi coupé ? Microphone was on =en marche, il fonctionne.
9 SLIPED = FAUX, to slip, slipped, slipped = les verbes réguliers monosyllabiques terminés par une seule consonne la redoublent.
10 slip into = (pas « in », car le téléphone fait un mouvement en plongeant dans la baignoire).
11 To slid, slid, slid, verbe irrégulier, Les formes slided et slidden existent mais sont rares.
12 to turn badly incorrect. To turn bad = dégénérer, mal tourner, ou alors turn out badly...
13 je remplace ton « keeping race » par « keeping pace » = garder la cadence.
14 inintelligible = orthographe, c’est en français
) = unintelligible (anglais).15 garder qqch à l’esprit = to keep in mind, to bear in mind. To care in mind n’existe pas…
16 at the waist = incorrect : at signifie à l’endroit (de la taille). Je mettrais « From » qui indique l’origine et donc ici la tête et le buste.
sb's position on sth la position de qn sur qch
17 level =with = marque de franchise.
18 says est faux, je mettrais tells (raconter).
19 après les verbes aimer, détester, préférer, etc., le gérondif s’impose. Enjoy hearing.
20 memory = mémoire, souvenirs. Reminder = un petit rappel.
No time left for translating
...In all cases, I give you back THE FORCE!💪☀️❤️
Take care of yourselves!
See you soon.
Apparemment, pour "revealing", les deux points suivis de trois fois slash donnent un lien internet, que je n'avais pas écrit et qui s'est reproduit aussi chez Taiji... Je viens d'enlever les deux points, et tout va bien ! Attention à la ponctuation, interprétée de manière erronée, par le site ou par Internet ! ... Amusant !

Hello Dears,
Thank you, dear workers, for your very good work.
Most of you agreed with me and found the text entertaining, if not funny... Un petit rappel, cependant ! Ces extraits que je vous donne sont des textes d'actualité authentiques publiés ou enregistrés. Ils sont difficiles. Vous ne devez donc avoir aucun scrupule à chercher, partout, dans les dictionnaires en ligne, les grammaires etc. Je rappelle qu'il n'y a pas d'intérêt à rechercher le ou les originaux, puisque je coupe, transforme, raccourcis, enlève les "erreurs grammaticales" (ou les exploite), retire les Américanismes (et
lorsque vous me les remettez ...) [sauf si les textes ne sont valables que pour nos amis d'outre Atlantique ...] C'est ce texte remanié qui est ma référence ... Chercher, travailler, n'est pas tricher !
Vous êtes ici pour vous perfectionner, en situation d'"apprentissage", pas "d'évaluation"... Je suis très TRES heureuse lorsque vous cherchez et trouvez et vous félicite de ce gros travail. Conference call tales:

hello bonjour traduction de la 1ere partie
Conference call tales:
"I was on(1) a call last week and a colleague's half-naked boyfriend walked behind her," recalls a communications consultant. This experience illustrates the pitfalls of videoconferencing, a technology that thousands of workers(2) are getting used to as they attempt to work from home. Some people really need help… In one (genuine) email, a financial services worker is told: "Your screen (3) is visible and we can all see (4) you watching porn in between enquiries!"
For many of us, this means getting to grips with (5) a whole new way of working. Line quality, technology problems and of course user ineptitude add kerfuffle(6) to meetings. Cutting down the number of people involved also cuts down on the amount of unwanted noise. Heavy breathing, sniffing, coughing, dogs and doorbells can all be dispatched by shutting off the microphone with the mute button.
Even without video, conference calls can be revealing(7): ///END of Part One///

Hello !
Vous êtes formidables !
Il ne nous manque plus que la deuxième partie ...Plutôt que de s’imposer un travail complet du texte traduit ( qui se répète un peu ...) je vous propose de lire les propositions de vos co- workers et de suggérer des améliorations ( ou des corrections) ... Je les reprendrai ensuite pour obtenir « la » version collective la plus exacte.
Bon week-end à tous ... TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOURSELVES and your loved ones.

Bonjour HERE4U ,
At last, here is the translation of the second part? SORRY FOR BEING LATE .
I WAS unwell
"Un client était en communication téléphonique pendant qu’il était dans son bain, et on pouvait entendre éclabousser partout et l’eau du robinet couler Il avait alors réalisé que le haut parleur était branché et que le téléphone avait glissé dans le bain. Glouglou, glouglou, glouglou-. Il avait sauté alors hors du bain pour prendre un autre téléphone mais avait glissé et tombé dans les escaliers. "
Les appels ont besoin d’un organisateur , d’une personne capable de remettre une communication sur la bonne voie, lorsque la discussion tourne mal. Ceux-ci, sont en charge du temps à passer, de la diffusion de la discussion entre les 'invités', des questions du public, du rythme et de l’énergie ; ».
Si plus d’une personne parle à la fois, ce qui est très courant dans une interaction normale en face à face, cela peut rapidement devenir inintelligible par vidéo. Cela est exacerbé si la connexion Internet est défaillante - ce qui arrive souvent. Nous sommes des animaux sociaux, et comme une grande partie de notre communication est non verbale, cela a tendance à se perdre dans les vidéoconférences, quelque chose que l’organisateur doit garder à l’esprit lorsqu’il dirige l’appel.
