p; But being a translator isn’t all that all the time. The reality of it is that a lot of the time the work is grueling, thankless laboring with impossible deadlines, impatient clients and occasional bankruptcy. Often, the better you are doing as a translator the more stressful your life is. Interestingly enough, close acquaintances and even family members will still ask, after 7 years of full-time translating (and even having established your own company), what exactly it is that you do for a living and when you are thinking of “getting a real job.”

So brace yourself for proofreading that takes more time than translating, and pays a lot less, extremely ill-timed computer problems, late payments. Your boyfriend’s mother surreptitiously pressing a wad of bills in your palm (for “something special”), blissfully unaware that the very same morning you have purchased a ton of posh new computer gadgets and programs.

Are we the literary cowboys of the new millennium? Who knows. But being a translator—in an agency, freelancing, technical or general, Pashto or Basque—is being part of a community of creative minds, who share an amazing ability to transcend borders and make the implicit understood, everywhere. The best of luck in whatever you endeavor.
