Hello all,
I'm a translator from the Netherlands, of the girly persuasion and proud owner of two huge doggies.
Nice to meet y'all!

Hi,
you are very welcome. I will give you some guides later this weekend. A first way would be to target the companies that are working in such language pairs and start a cooperation. It certainly will take some time until they will provide you with big projects, but it could result in some good lasting relationships. |

Hi Sarikah,
sorry that i didnt make it during the weekend. First of all, you should start with the basics, to prepare a good looking and well rounded CV for your potential clients and prepare an introduction about yourself and your service / experience, etc.
This shouldnt be too long, as you will attach your CV as well.
Then you´ll start to send out emails to potential clients. Your chances will increase for a job, if they are currently looking for someone in your language combination. You could look at the job board and collect some companies that are working primarily in these language combinations.
One big note: Dont give up too fast. It is a long way to build up good client relations. Therefore those need to be treated the same. Dont pressure your clients, but act professional and be able to answer them queries fast and efficient.
Hope that helps :-) |

Hello everyone,
I've just registered and I guess it's good form to introduce myself.
My name is Seth Ivan and I translate Christian literature from English into Malay. Hope to network with other translators who are involved in "Kingdom translation".
Kind regards and blessings to all.
Seth
