Brown University is exploring a new idea: Philosophy as World Literature. This means looking at how ideas travel across countries, like stories do, changing as they are translated.

Does anyone in the #localisation and/or #freelancing bubble here have got any tips for how I would efficiently break out of the "single client" death loop into sustainable client acquisition?

I have been doing this job for several years now and it's been amazing. I'm just afraid of betting everything on one horse. If the agency that hires me most goes under for any reason I lose my livelihood.

My current ideas are in the replies:

Most of my #writing for education is intended for those already familiar to some extent with professional tools and tasks, particularly for commercial #translation work. But in this free webinar, I'm going back to basics, and examining what independent tools installed locally on our personal equipment offer, and why they still matter in the Online Age.

I'll talk mostly about two such software workspaces, one long familiar to me (memoQ) and another (Scrivener) quite new, and how I use them in my writing projects and translation work. And why these are the best options I've explored.

This talk is intended for experienced wordworkers who may ask why the "old" ways are still relevant, and for aspirants to the multilingual world of words who want a good start, apart from the too-frequent grind of linguistic sausage.

Feel free to share this post and help raise awareness of ways we can move toward better practice at the wordface.

In response to the difficulties that so many people have to find specific solutions from more than two decades of my social media, YouTube and blog contributions, I've launched a new "consolidation project" to tie all the loose threads together and offer current summaries of best practice in the applications of technology for languages and #translation service.

@DrInterpreter weren't you the one who pointed out on #LinkedIn that without true agency (control of tools and decisions) on the part of a translator or reviewer, "human in the loop" has about the same meaning as "rabbit in the snare"? I found that rather apt.

Hi, I think it's high time that I introduced myself #introduction. I'd like to use social media more to interact with other researchers.

I’m Maud, a French PhD student in #TranslationStudies focused on #AcademicDiscourse and #MachineTranslation.

I’m still trying to understand how Mastodon works, but in the future, I would love to chat about #languages and #linguistics, #MTLiteracy, (open)science and academic life (and more personal interests: #poetry, #history, #anthropolgy and #philosophy).

@cedar I'd say it depends on the purpose of the translation and the audience, ie, the translation brief. If it's for a commercial publisher and general audience I'd probably tone it down; if it were for an academic publisher, or for internal use, then I might want to translate it literally and/o use a substitute ethnic slur. #SkoposTheory #TranslationStudies #Translation #racism
