Summary:How to create the perception of being a high quality translator and actually maintaining the perception consistently. Simple but time tested techniques and tips related to non-linguistic areas to make your linguistic abilities earn and work for your more.
Description
The core learning of the course is to make linguists aware of the fact that 'quality translation' is not only limited to the linguistic aspect of translation.

Some of the following issues will be covered in the presentation:

a. Why high linguistic quality alone may not qualify to reward the linguist with a higher income or premium clients?
b. What is the clients 'perception of quality' ?
c. What are the non-linguistic issues linguists often overlook or under-estimate?
d. Finally, the presenter will go over a 10 point basic home-brewed but effective and tested quality model.
Target audience
Freelancers and small and medium agency owners
Learning objectives
1. Understand how linguistic abilities alone do not create and sustain the perception of being a high-quality provider
2. Other non-linguistic aspects to create the perception
3. How to create that perception with some simple techniques.
4. How to communicate clearly and confidently your quality policy.
5. Make that policy easily measurable and testable by the client.
