Almost all the “articles” I have submitted to this wordpress site have been email correspondence with our translators on larger projects, so that anyone interested in starting a career as a translator might get an idea what it would be like.

Learning to speak a new language is not easy, especially when you are not a child anymore. It takes a lot of time and practice, and by the time you learn to speak it at a conversational level, years can pass. However, there are some methods that can speed up that process, and as long […]
Get this odd job: a police report for the Scottish police of email correspondence. Apparently there is an employment agency in Scotland that helps Czech, Slovaks and Poles etc. find work and accommodation in Glasgow.

Translators are greatly in demand in the modern world. In the past, people tended to come into contact only with those who spoke the same language as them.
