Why was my problem lost in translation?

I quit my last job in a perfectly appropriate way: I handed in my resignation half a month before I left and recruited a new translator. I finished all the handovers and gave my thanks to everyone during my last team-building meeting. My coworkers expressed their best wishes for my future and my colleagues and bosses were so nice and approachable as I walked out the door that I started to wonder whether I was making a big mistake in leaving such a nice team.

One week after I left, I got a call from my former department manager.

"Hey Yuli, are you busy?" she sounded nice and friendly. "I have got some German materials here and I wonder if you could help me translate them?"
