Freelancers In The UKFreelance Translatorshttp://freelancersintheuk.co.uk20:28 06-Sep-2010Translators are required in many business areas: science, law, literature, and the world of commerce. It's a more academic sort of institution and as such, has regulatory bodies with seemingly more structure. To you, my friend, this just means it's really helpful to be a member of a formal organisation to lend kudos to your act! Translators are often paid per thousand words which makes it rather important to work on large projects! The Internet is a rich resource for translators and should be exploited accordingly... word of advice. Be diverse in your preferences, use the super highway as a shop window. A little bit of self-promotion doesn't do any harm at all. Think outside the box, and if you have a specialism, make sure it appears on your webpage. Like interpreters, there is a strong network of translators who help each other out, share contacts, information and even set up forums to network. Join the club. |
