Thanks for sharing the resources. I remember when I first started out as a freelancer, you couldn’t find much on translation. Now, you can find a lot of resources online. As a young or up-start freelancer, I think making connections with those in the industry is important. There’s a lot of top tier bloggers in translation, relationships with them can be a big boost to your business in the early stages. We all started somewhere, knowledge is power. Thanks again Catherine. Best wishes.
It was the same when I started out too, the online resources were scarce, no fora no blogs. I agree with you, meeting and interacting with other professionals in our industry is the best way to learn 🙂
