Nothing there for me Feb 25, 2015

In my opinion, freelancers are missing out on a great chance to expand their customer basis if they don't participate.

I might be wrong, but I don't see anything there for my language pair. Am I correct to assume that the EU's efforts are focused on translating cosy conversations between European countries or is there also work done on translating the thoughts and missives of the (rather larger) world outside the castle walls?

Re translation experience Feb 25, 2015

How do you prove your translation experience other than by POs, contracts, letters of reference etc?


A PO does not prove any translation experience. A PO proves only the fact that some agency has ordered something to some individual claiming to be a freelancer (for example), but it does not prove that the individual has ever completed the task at all.

If the recipient of these documents is not a translation agency but a public institution whose employees are bound by professional secret not to divulge this kind of information, I think it's safe to submit these documents.


In my example it is not. It is just a translation company, one of thousands.
