I don’t think there is a single right or wrong form of collaboration between translators, but I am convinced that there is a lot to gain by working together in some way. Here are some ways translators can collaborate: a pair of translators revising each other’s work on a regular basis; translators referring jobs they don’t have time for or languages and fields they don’t do; translators in different countries partnering up to reach each other’s markets; local translators partnering up to share office space and/or to target local clients together. And here are some of the benefits of working together: make office space and marketing materials more affordable through cost-sharing; expand your networking reach; attract direct clients who need more than one language; get advice and feedback on all kinds of translation and business challenges; forge strong professional and social relationships; have someone to cover for you when you are sick, on vacation or underestimated a job.
