I am multilingual and studied literary translation at uni and found out that I hate doing translations 😂😂 but also, it doesn’t pay well in my country as a profession
O nooo lol I'm glad you found out early though--instead of like.. 20 years into a translation career. And I feel you. Translators in so many language pairs (..is it all of them??) are underappreciated and underpaid. More people should be talking about this!
this was really helpful and a joy to read even though i'm more interested in poetry translation than fiction. <3 if any emerging spanish language poets are seeking a translator, feel free to dm! ¡poetas que hablan español! si buscas un traductor, no dudes en contactarme
Hi Marina! Thanks for reading and hope some of the 'lessons,' procedures, and tips here apply for poetry too. And that you find the perfect project soon :)
Thanks for all the details. So helpful.
Really happy to hear that was helpful! Thanks for your attention and presence here :)

Yeah, and now with all this AI crap I don’t know how they are going to cope 😬
