5 reasons to be proud on your job as a translator
Today is International Translator’s Day, a day of celebration, pride and – still – hard work. Although our work is appreciated by clients and end clients alike, there’s much ignorance about our job. When I tell people that I’m working as a freelance translator, they often ask “So you translate books?” or tell “Wow, I use Google Translate all the day”. The International Translator’s Day therefore is a nice day to celebrate our job, to connect with others and to praise ourselfes for the great job we’re doing day after day.
There are many reasons to be proud of our job, and below I list 5 that we do not easily realise. So spread the word or print them to use them in those days you cannot think about anything to be proud of (I know, that happens as well).
