“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”
― Nelson Mandela

Being self-employed it is sometimes difficult to achieve the perfect work-life balance but it is possible.

Language is a living system, it changes, evolves and there may be some things you don´t know so don´t be afraid to ask, research…

Searching, filtering, and understanding new information with the help of Internet is key to successful translation.

The curiosity that allows you to learn and know, the ability both to adapt to the needs of the customer and to listen to the customer. 

It is imperative that we keep up with the times, either gaining specific technical knowledge or using software that will help us improve consistency and efficiency.

You have to be ready to ‘criticize’ yourself in real-time while translating, and be ready to learn from your mistakes.

The goal of translation is to output what conforms to the culture, habits, customs, and logic of the target language country.

In my opinion, to be an excellent translator, fast learning and searching skills are also essential besides language skills.

Please focus on your native language fluency, read more and play more games in translation just to see how others solve the same problems that you can face.

“自律 (self-discipline)”. There are too many temptations in the world. Only self-discipline can make you a better person.
