#TeamTranslator meets Freelanceverse
12 February 2024 – Freelance Translator and YouTuber Adrian Probst invited us (co-founders Anikó Pető-Mordovski and Kelsey Frick) to talk about about #TeamTranslator on his Freelanceverse YouTube channel.
The interview, titled “BOOST YOUR FREELANCE CAREER WITH COMMUNITY BUILDING,” talks about #TeamTranslator, how it was formed, and how being part of a community can help freelance translation professionals thrive.
In his introduction to the video, Adrian reflected on that initial thought process that many freelancers have:
“If you are starting out as a freelancer, as a translator in general, you’re probably working on your own. And maybe you have this mindset that I did back in the day, when I started out, ‘I don’t need a team, I can do this by myself.’ You can, of course, but in a way there is no need for it.”
Later on in the interview, Anikó and Kelsey then gave their thoughts on why #TeamTranslator had become so successful:
“I would say it’s because of the whole atmosphere that we tried to create from the beginning – this supportive group, this support milieu. And I think people feel like they’re in a safe space to ask questions and they will not get any judgement.”
