following a strategy in your business as a freelancer. She posed

useful tools that could inspire freelancers with ideas for blogging, help them
save time, design attractive digital materials and increase their online

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I explored the idea of <b>WYSIWYG Branding</b>.
Branding may be considered as a concept which combines your business
personality with the public perception resulting from the way you define and
present yourself. However, defining your business personality, from my point of
view, means focusing more on your essence than on what the others will think of
the image you project. If your essence is in conflict with the Brand you are
creating, you will end up forcing yourself into a fake standard that may feel
too uncomfortable to embrace. The public might sense that your Brand is not
consistent with your personality and may distrust your offer. However, if you
ask yourself questions relevant to your essence, the value you offer, the ways
in which you shine, the strengths of your character, the projects that fill you
with enthusiasm and the uniqueness of your experience, you will create a Brand
that is authentic and the best version of yourself. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">I did not mean that public perception had to be disregarded in
branding. On the contrary, it should be taken into consideration as a means to
an end. Through the definition of your brand, you may gain an insight on the
best clients you would like to work with. Therefore, finding the right channels
to connect with them, the problems you may solve for them and the reasons why
they would choose you as their preferred service provider, means you will be
analysing aspects of public perception to your own advantage.</span></div>

Branding </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">is a concept I created to highlight the aspects
which work best in branding. <i>WYSIWYG [What you see is what you
get] </i>implies that your Brand is genuine and true to your
personality, values, interests. This triggers confidence because your image is
in alignment with the best of yourself. As a result, you deliver what you
promise and your clients expectations are fulfilled, leading to relationships
of trust and repeated business in the future.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Brand should be easy to pronounce in the languages you work with. You should
check that the name is not used already, that the domain for a website is
available or that a similar name is not taken by other business, or on
social media platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></span></div>

brand, the tagline may prove very useful if you would like to emphasise in a
few words (no more than 5) the mission of your business, the date when it
started, or where it is located. The tagline for 'Translator in London' is 'All
About Communication' and although I chose it for personal reasons, which I
explained at the Show, that tagline turned out to be the foundation of my
business and of my personal life.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></span></div>

different business personalities. It is advisable to use a colour scheme
consistently throughout different channels so that the colours of your brand
immediately trigger an association with you in the mind of the general public.
Marketeers also recommend that you use two main colours with a touch of a third
one in all your graphic content.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></span></div>

brand will be conveyed through Content. When you develop content, you should
think of what your potential clients would like to read. How relevant will the
content you publish will be to them? What sort of information will make their lives
easier? If the content is relevant and valuable, the possibilities of engaging
a greater number of clients will be higher. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">London is a hub of International Trade Fairs and Exhibitions and every day there are numerous events taking place in Olympia, Excel and other conference venues around the English capital. From the International Jewellery Show to World Travel Market, or from Architects@Work to the London Wine Fair, there is always an industry, product or service that can be featured, promoted and sold through one of these popular fairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both exhibitors and visitors come from different countries or regions of the UK to showcase their products, establish business partnerships, network with other entrepreneurs, raise awareness about their brand and reach new markets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many exhibitors and visitors also rely on an interpreter if they do not feel confident when communicating with possible buyers who do not speak their language.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this article which was published in The Linguist, I give some tips to those who require interpreting services during trade fairs and exhibitions and also to interpreters who may face different challenges when working in this sector. Enjoy your read and let me know your thoughts!</div></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
In our globalised world, networking is going beyond national
borders as businesses are able to reach international clients, customers,
suppliers and partners. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
As in any type of human relations, communication plays a key
role in business meetings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Communication
is essential for selling a product, understanding a market, developing an
advertising campaign, relating to colleagues, managing a team, sharing opinions and growing your network.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
Effective communication techniques are required under strict
time constraints during regular business meetings in all types of specialist
sectors and industries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
If the participants of a meeting speak different languages,
an interpreter will be required to make communication possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is important that- before hiring an interpreter- the purpose of the meeting is clearly defined, as well as the main ideas that will be discussed and the key topics that
will be developed. Decide whether you will need to circulate documentation or to show slides or presentations and if they will need to be translated in the language of the rest of the attendees. Bear in mind that extra time should be added to the estimated duration of the meeting if consecutive interpreting services are
required. Provide reference material and background information about
the meeting to the interpreter. Remember that the language professional is not
an employee of your business and will need to get familiar with any jargon,
specific terminology, names of products, and names of people or organisations
which may be mentioned in the meeting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
Explain to the rest of the participants that the presence of
an interpreter means that they will need to endeavour to share their comments
in a concise and clear manner and that the interpreter will render their ideas
after they make pauses throughout their speech. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
In meetings with Latin American or Spanish speakers, address
the participants directly as if they understood your message. Try to establish
rapport by connecting with the rest of the people in the meeting taking into
consideration their cultural conventions (exchange of business cards, firm
hand-shake, and eye contact - depending on what is culturally accepted in terms
of body language in their country of origin).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The aim of the interpreter is to facilitate communication
and ensure that the exchange of opinions in a meeting goes smoothly despite
the linguistic barriers that may exist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">
By getting organised before the meeting, providing specific
details and reference materials to the interpreter and by contacting a
qualified language professional, you could rest assured that your meeting will run successfully and you will achieve your desired objectives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the topics that generated more questions was "Remuneration and pricing". It is not surprising that the survey results showed that translators do not feel well-equipped in business skills and therefore their strategies for negotiation of rates may be poor. As Sarah Griffin pointed out, Translation Associations are not entitled by Government regulations to set a guidance on pricing, but all they can do is look at past patterns which may be helpful for translation professionals who would like to have an idea of how the industry was valued on previous years. I could not agree any more with what Karen Stokes (CIOL) mentioned on that respect: "We need to encourage people to act more in a business-like way". She also stated that, as other professionals do, prices (in translation) should be set on a per job basis or per hour, rather than per word. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking into consideration those comments, the different associations agreed that there is a need to educate clients about their views on the translation industry. As the general public would surely choose a Chartered Accountant, or a Chartered Surveyor over a non-chartered professional, now Chartered Translators can demonstrate their competence and offer quality services to clients.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think that the Professional Associations in the UK have increasingly evolved in educating the public and graduates about the importance of professionalism in translation. A new vision over the Translation Industry would result in more appealing pricing strategies if translators were actually seen as other professional contractors or consultants who hold professional qualifications, have undergone training or learned on the job, and are continually developing their skills and knowledge, following a code of ethics to offer the best for their clients. </span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">...So....I started my day as usual, in front of the computer,
ready to start working on the translation project that was unfinished at 1.00
a.m., but with a feeling of excitement about this special day for all
translators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">-"It is
International Translation Day and for sure Google would surprise me when I open
my browser", I thought. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">To my
disappointment, all I could see when I started browsing the Internet was
Google's logo. No doodle to remind users of our patron Saint Jerome or to make
people aware of the day when we celebrate our profession and of how Translators
contribute to international communication in this globalized world. </span></div>

<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It seems that our
profession is still struggling for recognition. Not many companies offer the
option of "Translator" on drop down lists when you need to specify
your profession. In many cases you end up choosing "other", or isn't
the case?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Probably, many people believe that speaking a foreign language is
a skill that could be acquired without much effort, especially if you have the
advantage of being born in a multilingual environment, and therefore, working
as a translator is second nature to many.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The work of a
translator involves much more than mastering the grammar and vocabulary of
different languages. Our main mission is to enable communication between
cultures. We are constantly learning about new topics, specific jargon of
different professions, diverse software, CAT Tools. We are in the quest for
knowledge at all times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Presently, there is more information available online about the
translation industry and about the role that translators play in this world
without borders, where only language and communication may become barriers in
establishing connections if it was not for the work we do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Therefore, on this 30<sup>th</sup> September I would like to wish
a Happy day to all Translators, and I hope that next year when I access my
Google browser on International Translation Day I could see a Google doodle to
honour our profession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I have had the privilege of being invited as a speaker to give two seminars at the event that reunites all language enthusiasts in Olympia Conference Centre, London. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This coming Friday 16th October, I will be talking about some top tips for starting up as a Translator in the United Kingdom. In addition to the c<span style="line-height: 22.5px;">ultural and personal obstacles translators need to overcome in order to get a place in the market, I will mention some tips that will help them stand out from the crowd when looking for their first job as freelancers. </span>I will deal with issues of Marketing, Education, Negotiation and Law to guide graduate translators during their first steps in the translation industry and will provide them with the tools they need to grow in confidence when starting up their business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Sunday 18th, my seminar will be about Discipline and Patience in Business, and how these two factors may help translation entrepreneurs to achieve their goals and feel more successful when working as freelancers. 'Persevera y triunfarás' -the name of the seminar- is a popular Spanish phrase which means that with perseverance you will succeed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, if you are thinking of starting up as a translator in England, or if you are already working as a freelance translator and need some inspiration and motivation to keep your business growing, come to Olympia, Room 3, on Friday 16th October at 13.30 and on Sunday 18th October at 11.45 to say 'Hello' and to listen to some ideas that will be useful to boost your translation enterprise. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I look forward to meeting you personally at the Language Show Live 2015!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend I visited the <a href="http://www.languageshowlive.co.uk/" target="_blank">Language Show </a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">at Olympia Exhibition
Centre. As an English-Spanish Translator and Language Teacher I was a regular
attendee of this event that takes place every year in London, UK. However,
three years ago I felt that the Language Show was mainly focusing on Language
courses, resources for those learning languages and educational trips to other
countries where new languages could be studied through cultural immersion
programmes, instead of offering training, networking or career development
opportunities for translators and interpreters.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That opinion completed changed this year when I enjoyed an
event full of seminars, resources and networking opportunities for professional
translators and interpreters! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Saturday 18th October I arrived to the Language Show at 10.30 am to join the 'Translation and Interpreters Leaders
Panel Session' – an interesting and informative talk <span style="background: white;">from representatives
of some translation/interpreting companies about what makes them choose one
candidate over another, what subject fields are in demand in the translation
industry and how to stand out in this competitive profession.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Networking started straight after that
session, when I met a colleague that also graduated at the School of Languages
of the University of Cordoba (where I did my degrees) and we shared experiences
and information about our profession as teachers and translators as well as about the challenges and opportunities of our lives in London.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

the seminar presented by a European Commission Interpreter and a Professor on
Interpreting about different types of interpreting, with examples of and a
focus on conference and public service interpreting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">After that I felt privileged about being
present at the seminar lead by Helen Campbell - Director at the National
Network for Interpreting, Routes into Languages</span> - on Conference
Interpreting: What future? This seminar as well as the previous one called ‘So
you think what an interpreter is?’ emphasised the importance of the interpreter’s
mother tongue to a very high standard as well as the responsibility of
interpreters for transferring ideas, more than words… ‘allowing for successful
communication by being able to ‘sense’ what the speaker of one language is
trying to say and structuring that message in a way that is succinct and
accurate’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once that session finished, I took some
time to visit some of the stalls that caught my attention. I could not miss the
stall ‘Translate for Europe’ by the European Commission, where I had the chance
of asking about opportunities for freelance translators and interpreters interested
in working for the EC, as well as gathering a number of resources about the main
characteristics and the languages of the countries that are part of the
European Union. I also visited the UKTI stand and talked to just the person I
wanted to meet, the Language and Culture Adviser at UKTI. After listening to
different languages, accents and people, I saw the stand of ‘LA TUNDRA’ a magazine
written in Spanish with interesting articles on culture, art and interviews to Hispanic
personalities, and I felt at home when I was warmly welcomed by its fabulous
team with whom I shared not only a language, but also a feeling for our beloved
Argentina. What’s more, I even received a copy of the printed magazine, which I’m
still reading with interest!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

session jointly organised by the European Commission's Directorate-General for
Translation, the Chartered Institute of Linguists and the Institute of
Translation and Interpreting with a focus on the results of the survey on
translator training launched following Part 1 held in July, examining whether
translators are being trained to meet the challenges facing the profession. We
were given an extended document with information about the findings of the EC,
CIOL and ITI on how best to future-proof the profession and to equip the next
generation of translators.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, my love for languages and
translation was more intense than ever after being at the Language Show. The
organisation was impeccable with detailed information about the exhibitors and the
programme for each day on their website. I found all seminars very informative
and all speakers were role models within the Translation/Interpreting
profession. I have already saved the date for October 2015, since after such a
great experience, I could not be missing the Language Show next year!</span><span style="color: #4d5c5d;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Both 2012 and 2013 were years full of great events and experiences I would like to share in a short summary today. I have not been blogging since 2011, only because I have been engaged in a number of activities in relation to translation, interpreting and, of course, enjoying life!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoGTMlfn3fg98hYOczf4YroLq_cSQFjiKG58rq6kOUhAbSXM2iph_FWZ_VXZSDd9reb-TpH5Xk2MiVdgRzVHZ9mdHHBxS3iuq_5HCsHt5_GBikr0KBi4muUjuObvLQGb4efHrN5EMFTc/s1600/London+Ambassador+from+Argentina.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoGTMlfn3fg98hYOczf4YroLq_cSQFjiKG58rq6kOUhAbSXM2iph_FWZ_VXZSDd9reb-TpH5Xk2MiVdgRzVHZ9mdHHBxS3iuq_5HCsHt5_GBikr0KBi4muUjuObvLQGb4efHrN5EMFTc/s200/London+Ambassador+from+Argentina.JPG" width="136" /></a>In one of my lasts posts I attempted to predict what was going to happen to the translation industry during London 2012 and the Olympic Games. After my publication 'Translation for the Olympics in London 2012' I progressed through different stages to become a London Ambassador and be involved in one of London's historical and most memorable events. The experience of working as part of great team whose main interest was to help and provide information to visitors that were coming to the city and to represent London with pride is something I will treasure, as well as the opportunity of attending the rehearsal of the Open Ceremony at the Olympic Stadium and of meeting many of the Athletes of different countries that performed outstandingly during the 2012 Games. Receiving two personalised letters from the Prime Minister, David Cameron, and from the Mayor of London saying thanks for my role as a London Ambassador was one of the extra perks I would have never expected!<br />

Actually in 2013 I even met Boris Johnson personally during a reception organized by the Mayor of London for entrepreneurs of Ealing. Translators are entrepreneurs on a daily basis, in charge of managing their accounts, marketing, communications and professional networks. It is encouraging to feel that the Mayor of London supports small business and allows us to grow in the industry we have a passion for.<br />
At the beginnings of 2013, I also worked for the first time in live TV at 'This Morning' Show interpreting in a interview presented by Phillip Shoefield and Holly Willoughby to the Mexican Jesus Chuy Aceves, known as Wolf boy, due to his condition hypertrichosis, who was in the UK working for the Circus of Horrors. Being on ITV was nerve-wracking but extremely exciting. The people I met at the TV studios were wonderful and it was with interest that I listened to Jesus's story and had the privilege of interpreting what he told the presenters about his life.<br />

Later on, I also worked as an interpreter at the Education World Forum in London 2013 and listened to the speeches by various Ministers and even by Sir Bob Geldof. On that occasion I was escorting the Minister of Education of Puebla, Mexico who attended to be part of the debate on the future trends and practice in Education.<br />
In 2013 many new clients approached me requesting Spanish and English translations of different texts, certified translations, translations of legal documents, translation of private personal letters, marketing brochures, etc. They are the motivation that pushes my business forward. Now it is a good moment to thank all of them for their business and for relying on Translator in London.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At the end of 2013, I raise my glass and toast with translators, interpreters, language professionals, students of translation and clients around the world wishing you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2014! Cheers!</div>

</tbody></table><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today I have been at the Great British Business Show in Earls Court, London, 'The essential resource for growing, improving and evolving your business' as organizers put it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After doing some research about exhibitors and seminars, I knew exactly where I wanted to go, but never imagined that other great options would be available on my way. </span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As a translator, I thought it would be a great idea to network with translation companies exhibiting at the show. Therefore, they were one of the priorities on my list. Then, I was also interested in attending the 'Growing online Seminar with Tips and Future Trends from Google', since my business is mainly carried out over the Internet. I also wanted to network with other professionals, because these days the networks I develop are mainly online and the chances of meeting people face to face are reduced.</span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However, after getting into Earls Court Exhibition Centre, I would not have been able to go any further without getting stuck onto a wall. Not an ordinary wall though, the business connections wall at the back of the Hall where I pinned my business card to gather leads interested in Spanish translation, Localization, Interpreting services or even Spanish lessons. It was a good start. (When I left, the wall seemed covered in wallpaper and my card was barely seen but still managed to get an interesting number of prospects)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Surprisingly then I was asked to feature on a video for an Internet service provider... Have not seen the video yet, but I will upload it here or add the link when it is available...Can not wait!!!</span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After feeling like a TV Celebrity, I headed for the translation companies I wanted to contact...They did not show much interest in talking to me..They were surely interested in getting more clients... not fellow translators... Shame...Perhaps it would have been a better idea to email them my CV instead of trying to get to know them personally.</span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then, I had the chance of talking to the Managing Director of a Multinational Company who expressed great interest in the Online SEO and SEM translations I offer...and I believe we will definitely end up in business together. A plus plus...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The </span></span> <span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'Growing online Seminar with Tips and Future Trends from Google' was full when I arrived, but I will do some online research to find out what was it all about.</span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was time for a break! And 'The law of attraction', or the aromatic smells or the 'flowing energy' led me to the Imago People TV site, just in time for a 'chanting' session?.. Yes! I did not know what I was doing there, or what chanting was... but it felt good, so I decided to join in... Nikki Slade was leading the group and Rachel Elnaugh gave a short talk before the chanting started. At the beginning it felt weird, but then I was into it and whilst stressed people were looking at us as if we were mad, I felt we were growing from within and did not 'mind' (literally)... and in just five minutes I realized how important it was to enjoy life, a moment for your own 'self' and that nothing else mattered... I got </span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">a CD from Nikki after the event and when I played it at home I got more relaxed that ever...love it! </span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last but not least... time for Speed Networking before heading home... Almost run out of breath after the Speed Networking Session organized by T-Mobile. Exchanged business cards with about twenty people... It was great to talk to everyone and learn about their businesses... I hope I can keep in touch with them through Linkedin or other social networks.</span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All in all, in addition to the amazing weather we had, the Great British Business Show made my day. A productive, inspiring, relaxing and fun experience in which I was surrounded by high profile and like-minded entrepreneurs that are trying to make the best of their abilities and business spirit to shine during hard economic times.</span></span><br />

He emphasized that the Olympic spirit can boost business and that London trading legislation should be adjusted to provide for the new demands that may arise as a result of the Olympic Games fever. Throughout his presentation I started thinking about the endless business opportunities that will arise as a result of the Olympics and the key role that translators and interpreters will be playing in London 2012. Hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world will come to England, many of them from non-English speaking countries. In order to welcome them, official documents, press releases, information about the Olympic camps and rules about the games, as well as brochures about London will be translated into different languages. During the games, the demand for interpreting services will be higher. Interpreters will be required to facilitate communication with international athletes, the media, and even with the International Olympic Committee. Tomorrow I am attending an event for prospective London Ambassadors for the Olympics and Paralympics and I may find out more details about the communication needs we will face in 2012. I will post here a summary of information that may be of interest to professional linguists (if discussed in the meeting). Busy times ahead for translators and interpreters during the Olympic Games in London 2012, so watch this space! I may need your help.<div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.spanishtranslatorlondon.com/</div>TranslatorinLondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715554802174880778noreply@blogger.com0Westminster, London, UK51.5001524 -0.1262361999999939151.322796399999994 -0.39052969999999393 51.6775084 0.1380573000000061tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613480013810347999.post-27619511940463188372010-12-28T02:00:00.000+00:002010-12-28T02:00:58.774+00:00Best Careers 2011: Interpreter/Translator - US News and World ReportCurrently a translator, I'm embarking on a journey to interpreting in 2011 and it seems the right choice after reading the article that follows, even if I'm not in America.<br />In the USA "Employment of interpreters and translators is projected to increase 22 percent between 2008 and 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the Labor Department." This is encouraging news! Now, I wonder what are the statistics about potential increase of employment for translators and interpreters in London during the Olympic Games in 2012?<br /><br /><a href="http://money.usnews.com/money/careers/articles/2010/12/06/best-careers-2011-interpretertranslator.html">Best Careers 2011: Interpreter/Translator - US News and World Report</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.spanishtranslatorlondon.com/</div>TranslatorinLondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715554802174880778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613480013810347999.post-85757883392696087412010-08-24T23:10:00.000+00:002011-11-18T23:02:08.767+00:00Language Translation: Test Product Names before Entering New Countries<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/2189-Language-Translation-Test-Product-Names-before-Entering-New-Countries"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Language Translation: Test Product Names before Entering New Countries</span></span></a><br />

</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The above article shows other reasons why translators need to be human... As I said on my previous post, translators need to experience a feeling about the source and target culture and avoid word by word literal translations that sometimes sound weird in the target market... This article about localization and product names illustrates how literal translations have a negative effect on marketing and the importance of considering factors such as the sound of words, different meanings associated with the same word, and cultural differences when translating or developing a new brand name in a specific country. It is obvious that machine translation would not be able to make this process possible. If you attempt to translate your brand name or image using free software or google translator, beware... your potential customers may have a laugh at what you are offering!</span></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.spanishtranslatorlondon.com/</div>TranslatorinLondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715554802174880778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613480013810347999.post-85757216907398639342010-06-30T22:22:00.000+00:002023-02-01T11:12:12.823+00:00Being human in the translation industry<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Are you a human translator? or human at least? GREAT! I thought it was another search engine browsing through my blog... </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This post is to be shared with humans and if you are a translator, that's even better because you will understand what I am talking about. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Why is it important to be a human translator? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wow... that's one reason: million of answers coming to your head... you are creative, resourceful, you can answer one simple question within seconds, you have brains. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another important reason is that you have feelings...(I hope you do). </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And why are feelings important in translation? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Because we are communicating with people. Communication can trigger feelings.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For instance, while you are reading this blog, you may feel bored, you may feel I am talking nonesense, or you may actually feel I have a point. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My intention is to entertain you and share my feelings about human translation with you. That's how communication is about feelings; translation is about communication, and, therefore, about feelings as well. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If I ask you to translate this blog into Spanish, you will need to feel my intention for entertaining my readers and you will need to translate that feeling into Spanish. See? ¿Si? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Translation is not only about reproducing a text written in one language into another language, it's about feeling the words of the source language and translating that feeling into the target. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Then, if your translation is effective, the feelings of the target readers will be the feelings that the original writter tried to trigger in their readers. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are many other reasons why it is important to be human translators and that's a topic to be continued on future posts. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As humans you may want to provide feedback about some points of this blog and I'll be honored to hear your comments. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You may also point out my mistakes... Just remember I am a translator but I am human...To err is human, to forgive divine...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jaquelina</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">https://www.spanishtranslatorlondon.com/</div>TranslatorinLondonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715554802174880778noreply@blogger.com0
