| Can't be compared | Mar 13, 2017 |
5 years ago I translated in different fields that I've changed a couple of years ago. Consequently, the quality of my present translations cannot really be compared to what I'm translating now.

I don't know how anyone can answer 'No' unless they are devolving into a Neanderthal.

Of course, we live and we learn.

They're probably better than they were 5 years ago and certainly better than they were 20 or more years ago. I've learned so much.

I'd prefer to say "I hope so". I don't know though. I used to have someone proofread everything and now I don't, so without feedback I can't really tell. My clients come back, but I'm not sure that they are in a position to judge the quality of my work.

Probably sort of yes-ish, as an out-and-out "yes" would suggest that my translations five years ago somehow needed improving (which they didn't). However, sometimes I have to translate updated versions of previous texts and I usually try to tweak, polish or somehow improve on the previous effort (which was nevertheless already fit for purpose in the first place).

Yes... or it would be a problem

Some of the source texts are better, too.
| | | |
Certainly for me as I only seriously started about 10 years ago. But I find that you don't get a second chance to prove your work has improved, even by asking for another chance. Any advice for succeeding in this?

I totally agree with Julian Holmes.

And still learning...

Who knows, dear Julian, today is Monday...
I hope the process is visible, except one language...

Can I really judge it? I am more experienced, but also older, starting to forget, having difficulties to concentrate... I feel that in some fields, I used to be better.
