My career guidebook Translation 101 explores the realm of translation, the benefits and working conditions, the types of translation work and tools available. It gets down to details regarding the tools a translator uses every day, providing information not only from the translator’s perspective but also from the viewpoint of the translation engineer and translation project manager. It provides a hands-on approach to CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) Tools, on how you can take advantage of them regardless of your CAT Tool of choice.
You’ll also learn how to successfully run your freelance translation business. You’ll be presented with “inside” information on how clients (especially translation agencies) choose their translators. You’ll learn how to set up profiting rates and how to find promising clients. You’ll be given ideas for efficient organization of your work process and tips for successful customer relationship management. And, you’ll be shown how to stay away from fraudulent companies too.
