No interpreting, proof-reading only at a pinch!

Used to do a bit of TEFL teaching or coaching, but nowadays I rarely accept this type of work. I haven't done any voiceover work for ages either, but I might still be up for it if the circumstances were right.
I haven't done any interpreting since a film festival in 2008, which was fun, so I'd also be up for something like that if the occasion arose, depending on the pay and conditions, etc.

Abstracting was a service I had experience of in my previous career, so I decided to offer it alongside translation. I did consider doing some teaching as well, but so far I haven't been able to find a suitable opening for it.

| I do wish we'd stop calling it "proofreading" | May 22, 2015 |
It's not proofreading! When was the last time a translator prepared a "proof" for publication? Call it editing, copyediting, revising, correcting, anything but "proofreading"

And I agree with Simon.

But I don't think "we" do. I suspect it's one of those US/UK things like "on the weekend" that eventually you find yourself saying and have to give up fighting...

| Some monolingual services | May 22, 2015 |
I do actually do some 'real' proofreading, but I agree that it's a very overworked word. Presented with two texts, and being asked to check that the correct meaning has been transferred - no way is that proofreading. Even a lot of my monolingual work goes beyond proofreading, as most has been written by non-native speakers of English. But I do do some pre-publication proofreading.

I accept various other monolingual English jobs: revising marketing copy is a favourite, but also a small amount of transcription work as a complete change once in a while. Business English training was my first love but rates locally are abysmal so I've stopped for the moment. ▲ Collapse

| Transcreation | May 22, 2015 |
And I always try to avoid proofreading/editing projects. Only do them for long-term clients...
| | | | | Text localisation, comparative review, cognitive debriefing interviews | May 22, 2015 |
Apart from translation and editing/revising, I also do some text localisation (adaptation from EN-US to EN-AU... this could perhaps be classified as translation), comparative review (comparison of source and backtranslation) and so-called cognitive debriefing interviews (part of the linguistic validation process for patient reported outcomes questionnaires).

Subtitling - Actually a wider range of video services...
- Translation for dubbing OR subtitling.
- Dubbing outsourced with a large world-class studio
- Complete in-house subtitling services
- Interactive DVD authoring
- Video editing, limited to localization purposes

Transcription - However outrageously expensive on purpose. It takes me as much time as translating directly for dub/sub-bing, yet some clients insist in having it.
Teaching/training - I translate EN-PT; my wife is an ESL teacher. Strictly enforced house rule: I don't teach; she doesn't translate. However until 2000 I doubled as translator and HRD consultant/trainer; could do it again, if requested.
DTP with translation:
From scratch/hard copy/"dead" (scanned) PDF into a "live" translated PDF - using PageMaker
From a "live" PDF into a translated "live" PDF - using Infix Pro
Sworn translation & interpreting - regulated by law in Brazil, some 3,500 people are licensed to do it in the entire country. ▲ Collapse

Translation of subtitles and/or for dubbing, transcription, and creative writing. And, as some of you already know (thank you), training, and also teaching.
