12 Easy Ways To Make Your Translator Fall In Love With You

This blog post is a spiritual successor to my 10 Simple Rules Every Translator Should Live By which pretty much went viral (well, at least by translation industry standards) with hundreds of awesome people sharing it in their social networks and leaving their comments on Twitter, Facebook, Medium, LinkedIn and other social networks. Even the amazing folks from the International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters shared it on their Facebook page for which I’m truly grateful. I think it’s absolutely amazing and proves one simple thing: we all have same problems and it doesn’t really matter where you live and what languages you work with.

As you probably already have guessed this post is intended for our customers (current or future) and it covers problems we face on a daily basis. It’s a bit over the top for comic effect (because this is how I roll) but I’m sure a lot of you guys will be able to relate to these problems. Feel free to share this with your clients if you want to make our industry a little bit better. Thank you.

P.S.: And to all my clients reading this – you guys rock no matter what! I hope this post will make you chuckle and help you improve our relationship and take it to the next level. You know me, I’m all about two-way communication 😉
