Nice tutorial. thank you!
If a translator’s expertise is measured in words, why do we treat conference slides as the profession’s highest currency? Are we archiving knowledge, or just hoarding PDFs to feel employable?
I’m not sure our expertise is properly measured in words, but the archiving vs. hoarding question is very timely. I think PDF hoarding and info hoarding in general an epidemic across all “solopreneur” and independent contractor professions these days. I’m constantly fighting it as I work on the new communication course I’m building. So much free information out there, and my instinct is to download it all, even though there’s no way I’ll ever read more than half of it. A coach I worked met recently calls it “info crack.” I think that term describes it perfectly!
If you could erase one “essential” skill or credential from our profession’s CPD canon—something everyone insists translators must master—what would you abolish, and what heresy would you replace it with? Defend your choice as if the future of the field depends on it.
Perhaps you could ask a question without demanding that I take responsibility for the future of our profession? Especially since we don’t know each other. 😉
