You are also able to get web site services and document translation services. You may think you can speak the specific language well, but how well can you read it, and how well can you write it? Putting together press releases and a special website would be incredibly hard if not impossible, and you wouldn’t be able to visit rival websites, either.

Wow! Félicitations! Just the thought of standing in front of a TV camera scares me to death, so I am really glad there are people like you who are brave enough to do it. You are a great example of a professional, highly educated and self-confident language expert. And you’re doing a great service to our community.

Chapeau !!
Dagy

I agree that it’s important for translators to get out there and do some public education, but being interviewed on live TV is a big change from the home office. I don’t normally talk with my eyes closed so I’m not sure what happened here (bright lights? not enough sleep the night before?), but it was a fun experience!!

I’m really impressed about this great interview. You’re definitely becoming a role model in the translation industry to promote our job ! Keep going ;-)

This is great, you come across so well and I really like how you speak about translation in a way the general public can easily understand. This goes a long way towards raising awareness of the profession, well done!

What an interesting experience it must have been too :)
