All in all, it was positive, but with the usual ups and downs: January: so, so February; good March: excellent April: so, so May: very good June: good July will be very good as after two very quiet weeks I have two big projects: a 35,000 words translation EN-PT and a 28,000 revision FR-PT.

I was on an upward curve back in Feb 2020 which was my peak month since starting to freelance, then Covid smashed it all to pieces. Since Jan 22 I feel like I have managed to get back to where I left off, and I'm now averaging that peak from Feb 20, so definitely very positive for me. I'm now enjoying, not exactly a lull, but a quieter time, so I can get most of my work done in the morning before my partner even gets up, then take some time to do stuff together (he being retired now).

-11% compared to same period of 2021 +38% compared to same period of 2020 +35% compared to same period of 2019 +10% compared to same period of 2018 etc. Neither stellar nor disastrous | | |
Actually I was on downward curve during the first semester of this year. But thank God that at least I am still having my saving and I hope things will get better to me as an English-Indonesian translator and to all translators reading this. | | | Kevin Fulton United States Local time: 17:35 German to English Same as most years | Jul 26, 2022 |
Jobs with identical deadlines, unpredictable gaps between offers. The current summer has been unusually slow, however. | | | Susanna Martoni Italy Local time: 23:35 Member (2009) Spanish to Italian + ...
Not fantastic. Some good news, some good projects. The problem is discontinuity. Resistere resistere restistere | |

Very bad. I did get some interesting jobs, including a book on dentistry, but not even a drop in the tsunami of bills I have to pay. Brazil, which was already in a deep crisis, was very badly hit by covid and many companies went bust or pulled out of the country (Ford being the most notable case). | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: For me professionally, the first half of 2022 was Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
