Through similarity, translators are usually referred to formicary. From the abstract point of view, a formicary represents a high-level networking process of achieving common results.
In order to get acknowledged about the importance of networking and teamwork, we have to look at ants, at their common work, at their passion for helping each other, at the same time, doing that selflessly, but following a common purpose.
Day by day, a translator is networking with dozens of people, organisations, and public authorities in order to connect and socialise stakeholders between them.
One of the most important targets among translators’ platforms is to offer the needed level of involvement within the tasks they are carrying out for either national or international entity. Various meetings require different strategies of work. Thus, when signing a service delivery contract, a translator is offering, basically, the most qualitative manner of work it knows and the viable communication channel.
Translator’s platforms are the best tools so far to improve the capabilities of professionals in order to gain knowledge and substantive experience in the field of interest. The model of formicary can be applied to platforms for translators, as every piece of this puzzle has an important role for the final result and influences the quality of delivery. When speaking about translator platforms, we have to broadly approach the key roles and the importance of translators being a connecting tool between people. Inter alia, translators are perceived as communications bridges laying to interactions.
But, a translator is, first of all, a personality. If analysing the personality of a translator, we note, by one hand, a set of qualities: professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication; by another hand, we note ambition, vision, strategy, wisdom, qualities describing a leader.
Every translator is a model and a source of inspiration regarding the style, the attitude, and the professionalism. In this light, Modlingua represents an important platform to uphold the networking between translators and interpreters around the world in order to exchange views, practices and advice; it helps to create and maintain a set of connections and professional relationship.
It is of the highest importance to consolidate the translators’ community and to strengthen ties between language experts in order to develop new skills, strategies, or ideas of nowadays challenges a translator is facing. Although it seems to be quite clear about the field of work a translator is pertaining at, the latest changes on international arena have proved the necessity to elaborate on new recommendations to improve this field and to share the know-how between language community experts.
