Largeish direct client Jul 13, 2020

The stuff I'm currently racking my brains over comes from my best/most regular direct client. They started out as a relatively small family business about 20 years ago but now they have offices in several countries around Europe and the Americas, and from the look of some of the texts I'm getting, they may be making inroads into Asia as well. My other direct clients tend to be more sporadic.

Different kinds of clients Jul 13, 2020

I'm currently working for a large translation company and also for a big end client which has its own Translation department. As both clients have always huge contents to translate, this is my daily situation, in addition to occasional smaller translation companies/end clients.
