Last weekend we celebrated International Translation Day and I would like to send my best wishes to my colleagues throughout the world! Have you ever thought what would your life be like if you chose some other profession? I definitely can't imagine mine without languages.
I would like to send my very best wishes to all my colleagues. There are some very specific things that I wish to you because I know you love to translate and you want translation to stay in demand for years and years. So here's the list of my wishes to you, dear translators: (actually, I wish the same things to myself, too!)
1. I wish you a stream of fantastic, juicy projects just in your areas of specialty...
2. ... And more loyal clients who value you as a professional and appreciate your work;
3. I wish to you that cool gadget/CAT tool/piece of soft- or hardware etc. that you've been longing to buy but couldn't afford. Now that you have a long list of great projects (and well paid, too!) you will surely be able to get it!
4. I wish that you gain understanding and inner confidence that you are very special and that the translation industry needs you with your experience, your language skills and your professional qualities.
5. I wish you great possibilities for professional growth;
6. I surely wish you more networking possibilities and, as a result, more great contacts and more new clients;
7. I wish you new creative ways to market your business ...
8. And spotless professional reputation;
9. And finally, a balanced life.
Have a Happy Translation Day and the Happiest Translation Year ever!
Dear Olenka,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reminding me of this holiday! Shame on me but I totally forgot about it! OK, I guess I need to celebrate it today! :-) It's better than nothing! Tanya M.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI celebrated this day at the Translation Forum Russia in Kasan and it was fantastic! I'm going to write something about the Forum, but there is a lot of reviews and photoes on Facebook about it already.
@Tanechka, you are very welcome! I thought I wrote a reply to your comment but I obviously forgot. I hope you treated yourself to something special!
ReplyDelete@Olga, I was thinking about you and your trip to the Forum! Please write something about it! I would love to read about YOUR perception of what was going on there. Have a great weekend, by the way! :)
