Comments on: A heartwarming client appreciation story http://thoughtsontranslation.com/2009/05/01/a-heartwarming-client-appreciation-story/ ...the translation industry and becoming a translator Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:19:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: r carlson Gray http://thoughtsontranslation.com/2009/05/01/a-heartwarming-client-appreciation-story/#comment-3851 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:36:58 +0000 http://thoughtsontranslation.com/?p=538#comment-3851 I came across this website and service this morning. I have been a translator for english/spanish spanish/english clients for over 20 years. I have been a simultaneous interpreter for about 12 years. I have been an english tutor for 22 years and I give english classes to the kids in my community every saturaday. I also am the Director reponsable for the Department of Interpretation and Translation of Foreign Languages for the Ministry of Christian Culture and Education from my church LA Luz del Mundo The Light of the World which is internationally reknowned. http://lldmusa.org/ http://luzdelmundo.net/ I am also a sculptor and designer/ decorator. I can do mostly anything if I have the necessary materials. But now things are a bit slow and I really need to focus myself a bit and order my interpreter/ translator skills.

I consider that I would have a better chance if I could get an accreditation as an interpreter/ translator. Since I have been through so many trials to get where I am, holding up the fort as Mom and Dad for the past 12 years, I was unable to complete my associates as the school I attended presented itself as nationally accreditted and in actuality it was only regionally accredited. So when I was forced to go where I could find family support, upon arrival in another state I was unable to transfer my credits. I am still paying off my school debt. But if anyone knows how I could go about taking an equivilency test, I would so appreciate the info. I travel back and forth between Texas and Guadalajara Mexico quite often and pretty much live freelancing any job I get my hands on. But things are hard all over. So I figure I need to arm myself a little better now that my youngest is almost 13.

Thanks for the feedback. I really enjoyed the articles I read on this site.

I have been testing gsm connections for a while. I had to warn the client when something was wrong with the network connections. And it sometimes took days before they adjusted the problems.
Disheartening, you know.

This is a great story and I agree with Judy: you so deserve it!
I needed to read something like this at the “end” of my week.
Thank you for sharing!
Bravo!

This is my favorite story of the week. What a great customer, and you deserve the praise and the present for going above and beyond! Enjoy those two nice bottles; and your customer surely gets the “customer of the month” award. I hope everything works out with his visa.
