Description: "This is the third revised edition of the best-selling A Practical Guide for Translators. It contains about 35% more information than the 2nd edition and looks at translation as a business as well as an occupation. Marketing and quality management are given extensive treatment." "This book is intended for those who have little or no practical experience of translation in a commercial environment. It offers comprehensive advice on all aspects relevant to the would be translator and, whilst intended mainly for those who wish to go freelance, it is also relevant to the staff translator as a guide to organisation of work and time, as well as to career progression. New to this edition is looking at translation services from the customer's point of view."--BOOK JACKET.
