Excerpt journal of my talk at JTF Translation Fest (1/2)

I had an opportunity to give a talk at JTF Translation Fest last October and a part of its excerpt journal (1/2) has been published within JTF newsletter 📥 (in Japanese)! The other half (2/2) will be published next month.

Journal excerpt: https://webjournal.jtf.jp/2023/01/16/6326/

On social media platforms, I’ve seen some negative outlook toward the translation industry from the standpoint of freelance translator but it still depends on how we act, how we do business, how we adapt ourselves to the state of art technologies and I’m therefore not pessimistic about my job, or it’s not a time to think pessimistic about it yet. With this in mind, I gave a talk of freelancing translation businesses and of chances spread out in front of us. Other than real-time tweets, I haven’t received feedback about the session but I hope my talk encouraged peers in some way and gave some hints for their own businesses.
