I'm a Chinese translator, now I want to share some of my experience, how to do a top of translators, whether it is entertainment or in government, business, people always popular primary and were also more likely to succeed. Do translation is no exception, a popular translation always received a lot of list, there are always done in the project, for example, translation to factories, to civil servants, for some personal translation also part-time for Real Translator Job (http://on.fb.me/19gnwxe) this web site to do translation. I am a free translation in shenzhen, below I to my two years of experience in freelance speak my ideas about the translation how to gain.
1, on time, keep your words, don't drag. This is extremely important. If your list is with translation company or other intermediary cooperation projects, after finish will promptly notify the mediation, the collecting of the translation fee project to import intermediary designated account in time, don't drag, as far as possible the remittance, at the latest tomorrow morning to, don't let people push, it will make people have a good impression to you, the next project will first think of you.
2 prices don't too dispute, especially with translation company or other intermediary cooperation, if you're going to pick list, when do try not to complain about long way, or interpretation difficult project, or translation much more time-consuming than imagination, once pick up the list, don't have anger, says that, in fact, I do also is not very good, I'll and customer complained long way or interpretation difficult project, charge less, and so on and so forth. It is best to avoid.
3 don't in front of the translation company or intermediary business CARDS before, last time to do an interpretation, total need seven translation, I am one of them, the exhibition this time need four translation again, but only gave me a translation company, the other three translation all changed, not they don't have the time, but the last time in front of the translation company translation to the customer card, this is big fear, it is important to note that, in fact, interpretation of the list and customer contact you in private, this is a translation company or intermediary can't control, but don't action is too obvious.
4 more and translation in the industry cooperation, a person's strength is always limited, you again good, also can't do all the list and peer cooperation is extremely necessary, my personal to me, for example, I in guangzhou and shenzhen area about ten several translation cooperation for a long time, because I am in shenzhen, so usually expatriate out-of-town list for translation of guangzhou, shenzhen or Hong Kong project also has a lot of time is busy not to come over, I will introduce to the shenzhen local translation, appropriate intermediary fees charged is very normal, this is the cooperation pattern, people will find my hands are full, I will also pay a certain intermediary fees, you too, this line is the most taboo jealousy, you fear someone robbed you list, this is very terrible, can do more and more narrow road. Cooperation is the best policy. Since I do translation, interpreting and probably around translation cooperation more than thirty times, translation probably worked thirty times above, mediation fee also has more than ten thousand.
Five personality, who is cheerful like reasonable people, this line is especially true, haggle over every ounce, petty, proud translator who all don't like it, customer will never use you again for the second time, can help the help, you do a small favor the customer can see in the eye, written in the heart, and it is easy to establish a long-term relations of cooperation. Proud, don't like to help, selfish people who don't like.
I made more than two years in shenzhen, the free interpreters, almost cooperated clients become my old customer, of course, due to various reasons, have lost some customers, for example, I remember on one occasion, I began to do translation at that time, in front of the foreign factory to translation fee, result the somebody else factory very angry, translation costs ten days later in my account, haven't worked together from now on. Actually that my translation is absolutely no problem, this one didn't pay attention to detail, missed out on a client, all blame himself was young and foolish. I hope we can learn a lot progress, learn from each other.
