I thought that I was doing everything possible already, but you just gave me like at least 10 new ideas! Many thanks Adrian!

"Be patient and be consistent" will definitely be my new motto.

[@Freelanceverse]

Hell yes, best motto :)

[@virgic99]

I’m still a translator student but this has been really helpful to have an idea of how it works, thank you so much!!

[@Freelanceverse]

No worries, Virginia. Glad it helps! And make sure to start already during your studies if you find the time :) it's gonna help you greatly afterwards.

[@MarianaBuhl3]

This is probably the best video for freelancers I’ve seen in a very very long time. I’m already binge watching videos on your channel 😀😀

[@Freelanceverse]

Wow thanks so much Mariana!! 😍😍

I've been doing a lot of research on becoming a translator (Spanish-English-French) and trying to decide what I want to translate. Your channel has all the information I need and all the information I didn't know I needed! I was also intrigued by subtitling and voila! You have a video on that too! I love your videos, they're so organized, to the point, fascinating, and I love that you're not flashy, you're genuinely making these videos to help fellow translators or translators to be. Keep it up, I've subscribed after watching only a couple of videos because I loved your format and your personality :)

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Laura. I really appreciate it. My philosophy has always been "the more you give, the more you get". So, yes, I genuinely just want to help people. Glad that it comes across that way. Good luck on finding your lane in the language industry. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or via email, if I can help you in any way. -Adrian

Oh nice to find some translators in Switzerland. I‘m a Swiss studying translation and conference interpreting in Germany. Can you guys tell me how the situation is in Switzerland? Are the rates much better? Can you live well there as a translator? Because there are many companies that give translation jobs to EU based companies because they are much cheaper. I was wondering how this is affecting your work.

Yes and no, I'd look for direct clients that do business with Portugal, but when it comes to agencies, that doesn't matter. There are agencies in almost every country that need Portuguese :)

As a certified translator I recommend you take some online course. We are trained in aspects that are many times not considered by just bilingual people. You can for sure become great at the job but I recommend studying on your own

[@Kaybye555]

@@ruizian I'm from Mexico and my bachelor's degree is on Translation I recommend you find a major in Translation if that's the path you want to go. The States is very intense about being certified afterwards but I believe formal education is the best way to learn about any real life situations and other aspects of translation such as subtitling, discourse analysis, interpreting, etc
