About
Spreading The Word | Translation and Interpretation Blog
A blog for professional translators, interpreters, and their clients.
Spreading the word is the blog's purpose and goal.
But spread what word?
The word about respect, values, ethics, and good business practices for professional translators, interpreters, and their clients.
Why?
Because, in today's society the eagerness to make money and to be successful has overshadowed respect, values, and good business practices.
A majority of businesses and individuals are more concerned with their profits and less concerned with people.
They underpay their overworked employees and freelancers.
They provide cheap quality products and services to their clients.
The voice of the bad mega companies and stockholders has become far more louder than the voice of the good business owners, professional freelancers, employees, and clients all put together.
The translation and interpretation profession is suffering the same problems.
Few clients appreciate the many years of study and acquisition of one or more foreign languages, expertise, skills, experience, education, and credentials.The translation and interpretation profession is plagued by unprofessional business practices. This is causing the deterioration in the quality of translations and interpretations worldwide.
Countless professional translators and interpreters are leaving the profession altogether, causing a decline in the value, quality, and standards worldwide.

What is in your heart?
At the end of the day we are all only human, we all eat, we all sleep, we all bleed, we all live, and we all die.
We're parents, we're children, we're siblings, we're family, we're friends, and so much more.
We are fragile.
Life is fragile.
Life is fragile.
If tomorrow never comes,
How will you be remembered?

As a person who was kind, fair, loving, and helpful?

As always, thank you for reading and sharing my posts. Feel free to connect or email me, Carmen Arismendy. I'm a professional Spanish interpreter-translator and founder of eLingual.Net. I started the eLingual Network because I could not find a fair, no middleman, no job bidding, ethical, and transparent meeting place for translators, interpreters and clients online. The website is in beta phase and by no means perfect but it's a step in the right direction.
Join our happy growing community, let's work together!
