Professional development workshop for Translators and language professionals, Oct 31, 2015
Given that the Internet boom has made Globalization phenomenon a reality. The nations of the world have been unified through it and it has virtually dissolved cultural and racial boundaries. People of different languages are now able to communicate effectively, as the language barrier does not exist in the internet. This has been made possible by language translation, which has made internet content universal and comprehensible to an unlimited number of people. That is why the demand for translators online is rapidly increasing. A huge number of websites now search for skilled translators to increase and improve their visibility and traffic in the internet world.
Therefore, this profession needs one to have many qualifications in order to become a competent full-fledged translator. If a translator wants to keep pace with the dynamics of these changes, he/she must develop not only academic credentials but he/she must also learn the new techniques of Business Development, Online Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Project Management and evolve as an Entrepreneur by making full use of open sources that are readily available at a very a low cost or mostly free.
