Description
Though having knowledge of two or more languages may be enough reason to decide upon translation as a profession, this decision must be made carefully. There is more to translation than just knowing more than one language and being able to communicate the meaning of a source-language text through an equivalent target-language text. In other words, there is more to translation than meets the eye.

This webinar will describe the most common reasons for deciding on translation as a profession and the requirements professional translators should meet if they want to succeed in the translation industry.

  • Freelancers starting in the translation industry.
