SPECIALISED: LITERARY TRANSLATION (Freelance Translator)

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks so much to Dejla, Tina and Rachel for coming onto the channel! It was great fun :)

[@rosecoppelmans4624]

I love when they include the ‘translators note’ at the beginning of a translated book, super interesting to hear about their process and choice of words :)

[@Freelanceverse]

Indeed!

[@marietamccune84]

Which country/countries are you referring to, and in what target languages of the translated books would they have such a "Translator's Note?" I only own a few translated books. Most of our readers are in English and Bulgarian written in English and in Bulgarian, not translated. Hence the need to know more than one language. I want to find more translated books. So I am going to check our local library.

good to know you are well aware the translator must do justice to the original style even when it is difficult and weird!! ❤❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful series! Can't wait for scientific/technical translation.

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks so much, Francisco! That will definitely come up :)

[@savlecz1187]

Suggestion for a future video: how about video game translators?

[@Freelanceverse]

Great idea :) added to the list

[@josueabuter5069]

Thank you Adrian for this whole series. It is awesome. Suggestion for a future video: religious translation, not old languages but normal languages like sermons, book, church contents etc.

[@Freelanceverse]

That's on the list :) will come out later this year at one point.

Hey, thanks man. Really loved your content. Direct to the point and no useless or outside the context info. I was looking for something like this and then found your channel. Just keep up the good word. And also could you make a video on lyrical translation?

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks a lot for the compliment :) glad to have you hear! Sure, lyrical translation can go on the list :)

[@wataruslanguageroom9075]

Excellent video! Could you please make one more video about the literary translation, this time focused on children's book? I'm curious to know the difference between translating a children's book and the one for the adults: such as the required skills, the current market situation (demands, supplies, and salaries), and also which languages are popular. I'm a schoolteacher and a multilingual (in English, Japanese, French, and German). It would be lovely if I could do some literary translations of children's book as a side job.

[@Freelanceverse]

that is a good idea thank you! I add it to my list :)

[@danceillusions13]

Could you please have the German girl list the resources/grants for sample translation which she mentioned exist in Germany? 🙏

[@pjcswart9533]

Thanks

[@Freelanceverse]

I think her comments keep getting deleted by KZbin because links are involved. I will check with her privately and add the links in the description.

[@Freelanceverse]

I added the resources in the description!

It's really what I Love, work from Confort of my home and avoid take crowded transportation, I really like your tips. Break a leg man.

[@Freelanceverse]

Good luck, Cris!!

[@josueabuter5069]

And another suggestion: what about a video about interpretation specialization with people who are working in the field. 😄

[@Freelanceverse]

Good idea, Josué, thank you!

[@pjcswart9533]

If you want to start by just translating a book do you need permission to then sell your work to a publisher?

[@Freelanceverse]

Maybe one of the panelists can answer this once they see the question :) thank you!

[@miguelluissousadias1371]

excellent work! could you make a video about ancient greek and latin translation to english? or spanish? later you could also make one about the nordic language translators, sorry if it is a bit intrusive of me. well now you can have two suggestions to your portfolio, my swiss friend.

[@Freelanceverse]

Thank you for the video ideas, Miguel :)
