Resources For Translators
Are you the kind of person who thinks education ends with a degree? If you ended up on our blog probably you’re not. Probably you were looking for some extra resources for translators, to understand how to get started or to improve your career.
If this is the case, you stumbled upon a very useful page. Here you’ll find a list of resources for translators, and the good news is that most of them are free!
The first section is about how to build your website because in my opinion is the most important step towards building your visibility as a freelancer.
The second section is called Marketing for freelance translators, because this is the area where most translators get stuck. In this section you’ll find plenty of websites, courses and ebooks that you can use to improve your freelance career.
We also added a section for the most interesting translation blogs and one with our interviews to freelance translators, where we’re sure you’ll find inspiration in the work of your fellow translators.
