Part 2 of 2 of our conversation with Daniela Ford about technology in the translation industry. This time, we're focusing on MT and how technology has changed the way we work, particularly how we research our translations.

Please note that this conversation was recorded before ChatGPT exploded into public awareness, and that's the only reason it's not mentioned. We will very likely come back to ChatGPT and similar AI tools in a later episode.

Part 1 of 2 of our conversation with Daniela Ford about technology in the translation industry. This first part we mainly talk about CAT tools - what they are, how they work and what benefits they can bring. Part 2 to follow next week.

Please note that this conversation was recorded before ChatGPT exploded into public awareness, and that's the only reason it's not mentioned. We will in all likelihood come back to ChatGPT and similar AI tools in a later episode.

Continuing with the question of specialisation, our guest this episode is Sarah Silva, also known as The Chemical Translator. How did she combine her love of chemistry and language? And just how niche should you go? Do you risk putting limitations on yourself by specialising too narrowly? (Spoiler alert: no.)

We're back! And we're joined by Fiona Gray (of Grayscale Translations) to talk all things specialisation: What does she specialise in? How did she get into it? How does she communicate her specialisation? And do you even need to specialise?

For our final episode of the season, we have another profile episode, this time speaking to Anikó Pető-Mordovski, a freelance translator and project manager. Anikó, like many freelancer translators, has had a very diverse career and seen the industry from many different angles, so she has really valuable insight to share with us.

Recorded 22/6/2021
