How to Become a Translator without a Degree (Udemy.com)

Me gusto el curso ya que te muestra algunas sugerencias las cuales te pueden servir para saber como es la industria de la traduccion y conocer ciertos aspectos generales utiles para ubicarse sobre todo si uno no tiene experiencia o es nuevo y siente interes por esto.

I had no idea where to start from in this field. You can go on google it, but with a lot of information you get there ,it is a risk to get lost. It was my case, l gave up after a while ,trying to understand the process and steps when you whant to start. The Course is very well organised, each step is explained with examples. I know finally about Platforms, Tools, Specializations, how to price your work or to get your first Gig. Im really satisfied. Many thanks.

Na verdade eu esperava um curso muito mais didático. O instrutor fala com as pessoas como se elas já estivessem envolvidas nesse processo e já entendessem as ferramentas, e não é assim que funciona. O curso foi apresentado como um passo-a-passo para quem vai começar ainda nessa empreitada, por isso precisaria ser muito mais detalhado do que é.

Hi Andrew, Firstly, Thank you! I was searching and googling about how to be a translator, how to get in the field, and you really really helped me to speed up my searching process. I am so thankful to you. Now my head is a way clear then before, and I know what exactly I need to do. Secondly, I am a bit confused about how to put my volunteer works on resume. How long should I work as a volunteer to get enough experience? And How exactly I need to mention about this volunteering experience on my resume? Should I just type "I work for this organization, and this and this... I subtitled these videos... I translated these text bla bla"? Many many thanks!

UPDATE: Exactly 3 weeks ago I purchased this course; today I received my first payment for a translation project :) Thanks Andrew! ------------------------------------------------------------- I found this course very helpful, as it offers a comprehensive view on everything one needs to know to get started as a translator. It answered all of the questions I had - and questions I didn't even know I had. Nicely structured and very pleasant voice to listen to. Thanks so much for uploading this course!

The content of this course is well structured and in this way, it aligns exactly with the title of this course. It illustrated all the prerequisites necessary to start a freelance translation business and I find it really helpful. Most importantly, it also triggered my mind on how and where exactly I could make use of my bilingual skills in relation with my professional experiences and educational qualifications. I finally thank Andrew for creating this course which is actually a key to open the door to find opportunities in Freelance translation industry.

I've tried to get into the only university that teaches translation in my country or at least the only one that appears on the map but since it just offers 30 spots and yearly there are more than 1500 taking the entrances exam I thought it was going to take a lot of time preparing myself to enter to finally be able to do something I want. But now I actually see a possibility.

It has been a good match for me. I didn't know about proz or translators cafe, and some of the resources mentioned for looking up words and phrases, I wasn't familiar with. The information is simple and a little basic, but I think that's OK because it helps to not feel overwhelmed and it's good to know that this can be a path and that no degree is needed in order to pursue it.

Amazing, amazing, AMAZING course. Thank you so much… After I was told I couldn’t take a Masters in Translation without taking specific (and costly) modules, I thought that a career in translation was impossible… This course has been unbelievably useful, and now (I hope!) I can begin my journey to become a professional translator. For anyone wishing to pursue a career in translation - this course is essential. It is wonderfully organised and simple to understand. Can’t thank you enough, Andrew!
