Translation Industry News

A very interesting article on the translation industry. I particularly liked this bit: “It’s a good business these days with everything going global,” explains Lori Ann Elzerman, founder of Expert Language Services in Rochester Hills (Michigan, USA). “With the slowdown of the U.S. economy, companies are trying to sell their products abroad.”

We also learn about the languages where business is growing: “Arabic, Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean and even Vietnamese are becoming more popular. Eastern European such as Czech, Hungarian and Polish is on the rise as well with the automotive companies going there”…

and “Indian-based languages such as Hindi or Urdu are coming up as well”

This article clearly shows that if you really know where and how to look, there is no dearth of opportunities for you as a translator. And the future of translation is bright!

Enjoy!

How to Sell Overseas

Do you remember this Translator Power post and this one, and also this one?

Now, check out this article in Business Weekk to confirm all that and act consequently:

“If you aren’t selling abroad, it’s time. We don’t have to tell you that the U.S. economy is struggling. Your suppliers may be raising their prices, and your business customers may be worried about their own sales. But just because demand may be shrinking at home doesn’t mean you won’t get a rousing welcome abroad”

Global Communication or Why are Freelance Translators Generally so Introvert, Unassuming?

Global Communication or Why are freelance translators generally so introvert, unassuming?

Is it because they spend so much time with other people’s thoughts and words that they no longer have thoughts and words of their own?

(With literary translators, specially poetry translators, one can even add “emotions” of their own)

They seem to live borrowed lives. They live secondhand because the thoughts, words, emotions they use in their work have already been used by those who originated them in the first place

Wake up, friend, stop being introvert and unassuming

Market yourself, let the whole worlds know who you are

Know thyself!

But first, YOU must know who you are: later, we’ll talk about knowing oneself (ever heard about Old Socrates

For the time being, just note the following:

You are a Global Communicator

Your mission is to enable and/or facilitate first-class Global Communication

Your playground is the Global Scene

Your marketplace is the Whole Wide World, and…

The Sky’s the limit!
