Imagine you are a translation graduate

“You are about to enter a giant, complex and dynamic organism – the translation industry. But how much do you really know about its internal structure, its individual parts and the way they interact? How much do you really know about its evolution and current trends? How much do you know about translation as a business process?” Read Joanna Gough’s insightful article (originally published by TAUS on January 21, 2011) for an interesting perspective on whether translation courses are preparing students for the business of translation.
