Top language, translation, marketing and freelancing tweets: February and March 2014

Hi everybody! I owe you something very important. As you know, every month I share an article with the best tweets about translation , languages , marketing and freelancing .

Hi everybody! How's your week been? Mine was surely interesting: I had a webinar for Russian-speaking translators, there were 2 birthdays in my family, plus there were a couple very interesting translation projects and a lot of requests from new clients and agencies.
