Oh wow, I'm glad to report that I've been doing all these as a complete amateur/ for fun as it seemed to be a logical procedure.

@@James-nq8eh Yeah, me too.

I translate as a hobby and I work on stuff that is about the furthest you could get from "professional", but I think I was already subconsciously following these steps. even though I'm still a beginner I've been told that what I produce is pretty good quality, probably because I throw the original text out the window as soon as I've got everything I need from it

[@a.katsarakis4268]

Well structured and to the point. From my experience with Ottman Turkish I would add two more steps at the beginning, deciphering and transliteration.

Currently working on the Dissertation/Translation Project for Masters as we speak and this has been very helpful. Like you say, we've been trained to work like this throughout the year anyway but I have never seen it so clearly expressed in a step-by-step format before. Thank you for this video, will definitely be subscribing for more of your content :)

Great info. I never done step 5 which is to read the text for the 3d time without looking at source text. But normly translators are busy and neglect the final reading step. Having said that, I bet it worth it!

[@PacTranz]

So true, Denis. With all the pressure these days to complete translations by yesterday and churn out ever bigger volumes, there won’t always be time to put it aside and come back later. Well worth it if you can though. Thanks for commenting.

[@huahuahua280]

[@english_albanian_translator]

4:15 I am an exception.

[@danielpourrahimi8016]

👏👏👏 really useful

[@PaavoLammikko]

Don't professionals use computers at all to speed up the process? Wouldn't it be faster to let a software or Google to make the first draft and then just make corrections to that? I'm just wondering because I'm about to start a big translation job and trying to find the best way to do it. Thanks for the clip and the info!

[@malexmartinez4007]

TBH, the suggested procedure is just common sense. It's sad to know that some translators don't even do them.

[@Freelanceverse]

Great video!! :)

[@Cheshire_Cat395]

Sure! As all your videos =)

[@Dan300382]
