101 Things a Translator Needs to Know

It's also a book for seasoned professionals, students and teachers. For freelancers and staff translators. For amateurs and experts, generalists and super-specialists - be they certified and sworn, recognised, authorised...or simply tantalised by translation's potential for a varied and enriching career.
 

The authors are all successful translation professionals in fields ranging from highly technical to literary. Here they share insights and tips about what translation involves and how a professional translator needs to think, work and act when dealing with clients and colleagues.
