Table of Contents 1. Translators helping and being helped by each other
1. Translators helping each other One of the disadvantages of being a freelance translator is that it can often be a solitary job. As translators, we work by ourselves and don't have that many opportunities to interact face to face with colleagues. When we have questions, it can be tough to know who to ask or where to go for help. In order to help those interested in becoming translators and to give more established translators the opportunity to give back, I've put together a page where this can help. Those with questions can post questions and others can post answers. It's a great way to help others and I hope you'll take advantage of it You can find the page at Translation Question.
