What is everyday life like for a freelance translator ?
Spoiler : it is not all about translating texts all day long !
Here are a few examples of the different tasks I perform on a daily basis :
Manage emails, quotes, customers (and sometimes call again).
Refine my communication on the networks.
Do research for each project.
Deal with a variety of subjects (legal in the morning, tourism in the afternoon!).
Prepare English lessons for my students.
And of course, translate with precision and love.
In short, being a freelance translator means being a linguist, but also an entrepreneur, a manager, a communication manager... There is never a dull moment !
