SPECIALISED: LEGAL TRANSLATION (Freelance Translator)

[@Freelanceverse]

Hope you enjoy this episode :) Let me know what you think of the series.

[@nagehancarroll6930]

In the UK, instead of sworn translations, we do provide certified translations. Although any translator can provide a certified translation in the form of a certifying letter, there are still some official bodies such as CIOL as an assurance of the quality. Chartered translators who provide their CIOL membership number on certifying letters will reassure the quality of the translation and recently there is a tendency to require this in legal translations.

Omg! I'm so glad I've found your channel. This is exaclty what I needed to watch. I've been thinking about a career change as I have now enough of the corporate world. I was thinking about using what I already have. I'm a Native French speaker, been living and working in the UK for a few years, speak English, Spanish and Portuguese and have a degree in law. So far, I've worked mainly in the B2B travel industry involving a lot of negotiation and contracting. I can project myself as a legal translator but I get discouraged by the thought of the lack of experience. Anyways, thank you for posting this. You have great content. Keep up the good work!

[@Freelanceverse]

Hi Rebelle, wow thanks so much for the comment. Sounds like a great plan you have. Feeling discourage is perfectly normal. I'd suggest you keep your job and allocate a few hours a week to get yourself started in the industry. Once you have some kind of stable work, you can fully go into it. Definitely worth it if your goal is to break free from the corporate world.

[@Freelanceverse]

Hi Rebelle, how is it going so far with your plans? :)

"The older you get, it just gets harder". Totally agree ! Nice video, I feel like taking corporate translation as a specialism. It is in my mind since January, we will see....

just exactly what I'm looking for. thank u sm!

I'm glad it's helpful to you! :)

[@novenaoctavia1138]

@@Freelanceverse Surely. Is it also possible to do a series about international transcribers? I think they also had some translating going on. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Freelanceverse]

What do you mean exactly by international transcribers?

[@novenaoctavia1138]

@@Freelanceverse I believe it's transcribers who transcribe and then translate it into another language. I don't know if there's any other professional name to this profession though. Feel free to correct me, lest I'm wrong.

[@novenaoctavia1138]

By the way, 'international transcriber' is just a name I came up with. As for the profession, came across it not long ago, and it seems intriguing hence the suggestion. No pressure though :)

[@Humanpol93]

Medical translation

[@pawsitivenooz]

Do you sign NDA's?

[@Freelanceverse]

I try to avoid it, but if it's a promising client, then I do, yes.

[@staycurious4212]

Please medical translation

[@Freelanceverse]

Yes, next up in May :)

[@mohamadelmrabet9152]

These informations is incorrect, as information is an uncountable noun which means that you don’t use plural pronouns, and instead treat it as a singular noun even when it refers to multiple pieces of information.

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks for the info

[@bakirbenhabiles1391]

Why don't you interview Arabs translators?

[@Freelanceverse]

I'd love to and have reached out to many :) it's just not so easy to find people willing to come on the show.

[@ニハ理科]

Translator salary?

[@Freelanceverse]

Impossible to say :) depends on so many things.

[@pawsitivenooz]

@@Freelanceverse my usual for Czech to English is fifteen cents per word if under 30 pages, if more we agree on project payment
