Day 49 - Translation

A friend kindly put me in touch with a well-known literary translator in London, for an informal chat on her career and, hopefully, some tips on how I can one day become a literary translator.

Another friend got us a contract for a psychiatric website translation. I’ll convert it into Portuguese and she’ll revise it. She liked my suggestion we create a partnership and look for more contracts of this type.

A Malaysian acquaintance just published her first novel - a science fiction. Could I translate it into Brazilian Portuguese?

It rains and I have a lot of typing to do.

I'm currently on day 38 of Portugese on Duolingo. Maybe one day I'll complete the whole course and be ready to quit my job and join you in this lucrative undertaking! 😁
