Effective differentiation may be the single most important factor (aside from language skills) in determining the success of your career as a professional translator. It's a strong statement to be sure. You might be skeptical of its truth (and that's fair at this stage). Still in this course I will provide you with some things to consider that will lead you in the direction of realizing the immense power of the principle of differentiation. It's something every professional marketer already knows about. You as a professional freelance translator can use it to your advantage too.If you stick with the course, I'll provide you with a framework that will allow you to determine the best differentiation strategy for you as a freelance translator. No one can do this entirely for you, but I can help guide your thinking, so you can draw your own conclusions and ultimately reach some important decisions. You can also use this framework throughout your career since changes in the marketplace may necessitate adjustments along the way. The title of the first lesson, "Differentiate or Die" may be hyperbole to an extent, although it's only somewhat so. Translators who do not successfully differentiate themselves and their services in the marketplace are likely to struggle. As a result, they might eventually conclude that the field of language services is not for them. What a shame!There is a virtual sea of translators living around the world and working in the language services industry (or aspiring to). They often promote themselves as "native speakers," "talented," "having a passion for language," and in the process do virtually nothing to separate themselves from other translators in the field. What translators are not these things?Professional translators are highly skilled with language. Their services are in demand. They're typically exceptionally intelligent. Most are also awful at marketing and lack awareness of the fundamentally essential principle of differentiation. They take marketing advice from other translators (What?!). Would a professional marketer look to another marketer for translation services? It's unlikely. And if they did they'd surely be disappointed.When results don't come they're encouraged with glib, hollow statements like "be persistent" and "it takes time." Persistence and patience may be good personal attributes, but persistently and patiently doing ineffective things (and potentially even stupid things) isn't a path to advance one's professional prospects. Sadly, what holds many professional translators back in their profession has nothing to do with their ability to perform their core skill of professional translation work.

Wonder how other freelance translators market their businesses? Effective marketing - of yourself, of your business - can help you reach the next level of success. The ideas and tools explored in this book have produced positive results for translators at every stage in the game and they will for you too. Each section of this book is adapted from a podcast interview with an established translator or other professional. I started my website and podcast Marketing Tips for Translators to connect with and share information the international translation community. We have many issues and concerns in common and the podcast is a meeting ground of sorts for those of us who spend a lot of time alone working on documents. The chapters in this book will help you discover the inspiration you need to market your translation services in an efficient way, as well as fresh ideas about productivity and tools for organizing your time and workday. We'll also cover proven methods and systems for marketing to your ideal potential clients, and strategies for maintaining a continuous marketing plan for finding new clients, keeping your existing clients, and getting the word out about your translation services. We'll show you how to get clients to find you, instead of you trying to find them.

This volume tackles one of the most promising and interdisciplinary developments in modern Translation Studies: the psychology of translation. It applies the scientific study of emotion to the study of translation and translators in order to shed light on how emotions can impact decision-making and problem-solving when translating. The book offers a new critical approach to the study of emotion in translation by analysing translators' accounts of their experiences, as well as drawing on a case study of emotional intelligence involving 155 professional translators. The author identifies three distinctive areas where emotions influence translators: emotional material contained in source texts, their own emotions, and the emotions of source and target readers. In order to explore the relevance and influence of emotions in translation, each chapter focuses on a different emotion trait: emotion perception, emotion regulation, and emotion expression.

This study examines how the idea of having to adapt to a changing climate influences recent Rwandan environmental politics and the relations with international organizations and NGOs. By conceptualizing adaptation as matter of translation, processes of resignification and network building are highlighted, taking broader social developments, historical trajectories and the makeup of Rwandan international relations into consideration. Based on analyses of a variety of primary and secondary data, the main findings add to a more detailed understanding of rationalizing, planning, and implementing climate change adaptation.

'In August 1981 my bag was packed for my fifth visit to Panama when the news came to me over the telephone of the death of General Omar Torrijos Herrera, my friend and host. . . At that moment the idea came to me to write a short personal memoir. . . of a man I had grown to love over those five years' GETTING TO KNOW THE GENERAL is Graham Greene's account of a five-year personal involvement with Omar Torrijos, ruler of Panama from 1968-81 and Sergeant Chuchu, one of the few men in the National Guard whom the General trusted completely. It is a fascinating tribute to an inspirational politician in the vital period of his country's history, and to an unusual and enduring friendship.
