This book presents select case studies that illustrate the state-of-the-art of language management.

Download or read book Translating Your Success written by Carlos J. Malave and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translating Your Success has a special meaning to Carlos J. Malave, who grew up in a bilingual household, hearing Spanish from his father and English from his mother. He learned at an early age that two different words could have the same meaning. As a child, he was a success at sports but lagged behind his siblings in academics. After reflecting on his circumstances, Carlos realized that he could succeed in school by applying the same principles that made him a good athlete to being a good student. He translated his success from one area of his life to another. And, as he grew older, he applied these same principles to his life. His father had a drinking problem, and Carlos had often asked him, "Why don't you stop drinking?" But he never asked him, "Why do you drink?" To solve a problem, one first must determine its cause. This approach is the basis of the three-step Malave method: becoming "consciously fit," turning happiness into a mind-set, and learning to possess motivation. In each chapter, the author provides exercises that lead to the self-awareness necessary to set your long-term goals and to translate today's successes into a joyful life.

Download or read book How to Be a Successful Freelance Translator written by Robert Gebhardt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freelance translation is fast growing to be one of the best opportunities for people who wish to work from home. A combination of an economic downturn resulting in a difficulty in finding new jobs, near-universal access to the Internet, and the ever-increasing globalization of businesses and organizations, leads to a perfect storm of opportunity for those who speak more than one language. According to Commons Sense Advisory, a consulting firm, the translation, interpreting and localization industry has revenues of $37 billion per year, and it continues to grow. Translators can now earn a great living in ways that were unimaginable just 10-15 years ago. You can get paid to translate documents for the clients you choose, during the hours you choose, and wearing the clothes that you choose. Unfortunately, many translators will miss this opportunity because freelance translation means an entire new process that no course or school teaches. Do you know where to find clients? How do you discern the useful clients from the wastes of time? How can you make sure they pick you as a translator? How will you get paid, and get paid in time? How can you avoid working for a pittance? You've learned your language, and this book concentrates on everything else. It walks you through the process of becoming a successful freelance translator, from preparation, to being chosen, to the translation process, to getting paid, and even to expansion - if you want to see how far you can take your translation business.
