@Woody & Anne-Sophie,

You might want to check out my blog for translators, http://www.sfmtraduction.com/marmite for tips and tricks to help you run your translation business.

I don’t personally recommend the “auto-entrepreneur” system (you might want to attend an informational meeting on that at the Grenoble Chamber of Commerce – they are held regularly and are free of charge).

Nice article! Sara has always been an inspiration to me with her insistence upon quality, in her translation work, her consulting and training and her networking!

Hi Anne-Sophie, I hope you’re not too snowed under with all the work :P (we should catch up soon…)

I finished my Master’s degree at Stendhal last year and it really is a high-quality course and deserves the title it has been accredited with. The teachers have a lot of contacts and can therefore try to help you even after you have finished studying there. After all, its in their best interests to see their former students succeed in life and go on to bigger and better things!

Thanks for this very interesting article. I’ve been thinking long and hard about becoming a freelance translator and this gives me more confidence about doing so.

However, Sara, would you suggest becoming a self-employed translator or is it best to start off as an “auto-entrepreneur”?

Bonjour,

Vous pourriez également ajouter que l’Université Stendhal Grenoble 3 dispose d’un Master de Traduction Spécialisée Multilingues qui vient de recevoir le label EMT (European Master in Translation).

(je suis moi-même étudiante en Master 2 !)
