Communiqué de presse « Le secteur de la traduction a connu une croissance de 12,17%. », une belle victoire face à récession. La récession pousse les entreprises à faire d’importantes restrictions budgétaires et réductions de personnel, voire même « se retirer » du marché. Et pourtant, malgré un contexte défavorable, le secteur de la traduction s’est bien comporté en 2011 « Le secteur de la traduction a connu une croissance de 12,17%. », une belle victoire face à récession. Parallèlement, certains secteurs parviennent non seulement à maintenir leur situation, mais notent même une légère croissance. Parmi eux, le secteur de la traduction, qui a récemment connu un taux de croissance annuel cumulé de 12,17%. Comment le secteur de la traduction a-t-il pu être épargné par la récession ? Le secteur de la traduction semble avoir été soutenu majoritairement par : • Le processus continu de la mondialisation • L’augmentation du nombre d’opérations commerciales internationales • L’absence d’impact négatif que les programmes de traduction gratuits sur Internet auraient pu produire • Le fait que nombre d’agences de traduction adoptent les nouvelles technologies, permettant d’obtenir des traductions plus efficaces dans des délais plus courts Le succès du secteur de la traduction Sous l’effet de la diversification croissante de la population américaine, un Organisme des Statistiques du Travail a prédit une croissance de 42% dans l’embauche d’interprètes et de traducteurs entre 2010 et 2020. Le besoin de ces experts qualifiés du secteur de la traduction a déjà commencé à se faire sentir grâce aux relations commerciales, à l’armée et à de nombreuses organisations.
The professions with the widest vocabulary, such as doctors and lawyers, use about 23,000 words. Interpreters and translators who work for these specialized professions often use this kind of advanced technical vocabulary in two languages. Translation has an impact on virtually every aspect of society, politics, and economics, but how much of what you know about translation is really true? You might be surprised to learn that translation is a highly diverse and complex market -- and one that's bigger than you might think. Here are ten of the most widely held myths about translation:.... Read more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nataly-kelly/clearing-up-the-top-10-my_b_1590360.html

If you are interested to be a successful project manager in translation industry, here are 5 fundamental lessons. Fortunately these are not related to linguistic skills ! 1. Penetrate the Obvious : Even though your job posting may bring 50-60 eager freelancers, dont consider a true freelancer a commodity. There are million temptations to think otherwise, but be counter-obvious. A true freelance translator is one of the rarest entities in the globe. He/she is the hidden pillar on which your career is resting. How ? Let us examine positions as they say in stock-broking. You are an employee and your performance is measured by someone else. A freelancer is a CEO and Business Owner. When you get some file handed over, you are most likley handling a black-box (because you dont know the language) and the freelancer can make your life heavely or hellish. There are nuances, grey areas, twillight zone in the domain of languages. You cannot fire a freelancer, by definition. But you can be fired, at will. Please understand this not obvious truth. 2. ....
