Dear Colleagues,
I'm specialized in legal docs but I'm working in more than 4 fields.
Have a nice translation.

What is a field? I am a mechanical engineer, and I translate about engineering, but what is a field? Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering?

... Like the Executive Order I translated last week, which was both law and medicine with a sprinkling of IT terminology...
Or lots of marketing jobs, which may be anything from technology to Education as well.
Beware of contracts, which are offiically law, but sometimes involve a lot of other things like maintenance technology as well.
I voted >4, and I am surprised that comparatively few others have done the same.

The little surprises are one of the things I like about this job! ▲ Collapse

This has to do with the distinction between "specialist" and "working" fields in the profiles?
If so, both survey results are eminently flawed unless clarified (or seen together).

| Regularly I work in more than 5 fields... | Feb 10, 2009 |
...It can be personal documents, contracts, medical translations (too divers...), technic, computer software (articles for a famous computer magazine), different equipment etc. Generally I prefer, when my customers give me texts from different fields, so can I not so fast become bored. I expect from my customers this variety...
