Translation Confessional

Let's explore that side of our freelancing careers we don’t talk about too often or very openly: the struggles, the time invested into learning and improving ourselves, the ups and downs, dealing with clients, meeting deadlines, and also the little joys that make up for everything. This podcast is intended for language professionals: translators, interpreters, editors, reviewers, subtitlers, transcribers, transcreators, consultants, instructors, etc. Stay tuned for weekly episodes in English and Portuguese and subscribe to Translation Confessional through your favorite podcast app.
