[@monagamal898]

[@saidsadik8293]

Hi Mona , did you start your translation business or not yet? if yes, how is it going? is it recommended to give it a try or save time and effort looking for translation jobs instead? I am fluent in 3 languages and I feel that this job is so easy for me. any feedback from you will be nice and helpful. Thanks

[@sarrahm]

Media Reviews i am a professional translator and please it is a real job! You need to go to school to learn the techniques. Being fluent in languages doesn't mean you're good translator.

Hi! I work in the world of health since 1999 and before I studied a degree of podiatrist and other courses about health. I'm thinking about to become a medical translator. I've read a lot about health in Spanish, French and English. Now I'm studying a lot English and I'm going to improve my Spanish reading a lot too. Thanks for your video! I'm not sure if I could or not to become a medical translator but after seeing your video I think that if I work hard I will be able to translate medical text from English to Spanish. Thanks!

If you are not qualified in a field, you can do some research in that area to become "qualified"

[@sararastakhiz3268]

hi im from iran so i know farsi and i am also super fluent in english and am currently learning german and chinse! your story is like mine and i really hope to become like you!

[@billywallace14]

Thanks for this video. I always thought I had to be perfect in the foreign languages to be able to work as a translator.

[@youiloves1242]

William Mahecha same!

[@rhettvaughan1937]

I don't believe you can only translate into your native tongue. My professor who has a doctorate in translation, is from Bosnia and translates between Spanish and English. even though neither are her native language.

[@isabelle7046]

Thank you for the info. I'm considering a career in translation and I am currently working on it. I think it would suit me at least for some years of my life, as some source of income I could easily come back to or alternate with other projects. In other words, I feel it's a career that can allow me some flexibility and to travel, as you said.

[@tavobragachannel]

Tons of helpful advice. Thanks.

Hello. The language you translate INTO is in fact your TARGET language. In general, it is your native language. The language(s) you translate FROM is(are) your SOURCE language(s).

[@yasminelmalah7558]

?can you tell us please what are the websites that you used a a freelancer

[@miri3099]

yasmin elmalah upwork and fiverr are very good websites for starting up :)

[@neorose1408]

Thanks for the video. I have a question , I would understand if there is English to Arabic (we need that). ..but Arabic to English(where did you find people needing that)?... and thanks again.

[@fitnessasusual2569]

When it comes to Arabic, there is no such a thing as "Standard Modern Arabic". We have Literary Classic Arabic (the language of the Holy Coraan), it is taught at schools and universities (Read and Write). It is the official language of governments, legislative bodies and formal publications (newspapers, books etc...) The man on the street does not use classic arabic (even less at home), every arab country have their own dialect that differs from the neighbour next door but with a small share of mutual understanding. Depending on the ethnicity and history of each country, the dialect they speak has a totally different pronunciation with a considerable amount of foreign phrases and "borrowings" that do not originate from Arabic.

[@أموآجالياسمين]

Thank u for this amazing video .. Translation is really big work there r a lot of things and skills that one should learn so how do you think i should start? should i divide my time among those skills or just go through them row?

[@lisas5213]

شكرآ

[@oliviaadel8324]

I'm sort of the other side of the coin in your case, I'm Egyptian and I'm an upper intermediate english user, and I need a translation job as fast as possible. Any advice??

[@mahmoudothmanekhelassi7405]

can you refer some of the agencies you work with ?

[@shadenal-hyari3543]

Thank you❤❤😍😍 شكرا كتيير❤❤❤

[@فاطمةهادي-م9ث]

واضح انهُ هذا الفيديو مهم ، لكني لم افهمه لأن لغتي الانكليزية ليست جيدة .. صديقتي انتِ مصرية؟

[@AnasAbdulatif]

How can I contact with you

[@Chimidecriolla3421]

Error and mistake are not the same. You can perform in all fields as a translator. If you are not an expert it will take more research, but I guess that is the road to expertise isn't it?

[@forfreedomssake4315]

Nice :)

[@JokenJoestar]

Actually I'm the exact opposite of you Translating from English to my native language Arabic But wait ! Is there's really something in Arabic worth translating ?

[@alanpapaosoable]

[@sorayanassiri3671]
