This year for International Translation Day, Matt Baird and Andie Ho co-host the podcast for the first time to spotlight the importance of joining professional translation and interpreting associations. This episode's guests, Céline Browning and Marco Díaz, are great examples! Why? Although Céline and Marco have followed completely different career paths, they both have one thing in common: They joined ATA and became active members fairly early in their careers, and they both agree that it had a significant impact on their early success and where they are today.

 

In this special episode for ITD 2023, listen to find out: 

  • How Céline and Marco got into interpreting and translation.

  • Why they attended ATA’s Annual Conference the first time and their experience.

  • How ATA has made a big impact on their freelance businesses.

  • Andie and Matt's own ATA Annual Conference success stories.

Are you at a crossroads in your career as a linguist? Are you thinking about postgraduate education in translation? Do you thrive on learning the ins and outs of a craft from experts in the field? These are all questions to consider as you strive to build a stronger professional profile and expertise as a translator.

 

In this episode, we interview ATA member Angélica Ramírez, a PhD alumna of the University of Alicante's translation and interpreting program. She began translating in the late 1990s and pursued a postgraduate degree early in her career. Listen as she offers insights about how language postgraduate education has evolved in the 21st century and why it was so important for her. She also shares her insights about her experience specializing in audiovisual translation and expands on the type of skills and techniques that are important for working and growing in that area of concentration.
