The aim is to build a friendly and supportive network where translators and interpreters specializing in beauty, fashion and luxury goods can share their knowledge and expertise, as well as relevant opportunities in these fields, through different online and in-person events.

I had the pleasure of talking to 3 ITI members about their experience:

She helps clients in the beauty, travel and lifestyle industries with their English and Welsh translation and proofreading needs, providing content that is engaging and relevant to their target audience while effectively reflecting their brand’s personality.

After Following Florencia Aguilar for a couple of year on LinkedIn, i thought it was finally time to invite as a guest.

I saw that she was organizing a training for translators with a few friends and it seemed to be the perfect opportunity to get to know her/him better.

This is the conversation I had with these two fascinating people, Florencia Aguilar and Sarah Reinmann Oliveira, about the work they do in Translation and how their work has an impact in society. They deeply believe in collaboration to find the most accurate and fair terminology and ways of expression to address situations that involve gender-related matters.

I learned a lot from this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Community is the key word!

In this episode I had a lively conversation with my long-time translation friend and fellow LocLunch Ambassador, Ira Susana and two of her main references in the industry in Indonesia.

We talk about the translation business, agencies, projects, the languages of Indonesia and shared stories.

Ira Susana has been working as a freelance translator for a long time. She has experience with a wide variety of texts and industries, but most of her work is in the areas of technology, IT, marketing, advertising, education, tourism, religion, taxes, and human resources.

Harry Hermawan has been providing top-notch language services to clients around the globe for over 15 years. Specializing in Indonesian translation and localization, he has worked on many projects in various industries and sectors.

Sugeng Hariyanto is a language lover who started translating professionally in 2000. He specializes in medical, automotive, legal, marketing and financial texts.

For this episode, I had Rachel Coleman as a guest.

She is the co-founder and co-CEO of ALM Translations.

I love the thrill of getting to know my guest during the taping of the episode, but I had no idea that things would turn out to be such a surprise.

The first shocking moment was when I realized that we are both cat ladies. Rachel is even more of a cat mommy than I am - she has 7 (SEVEN) cats!

Rachel went way back in time and told me about her very original upbringing and what inspired her to start her company with a friend in 2002.

You must watch the episode to find out all about it!

Thank you, Rachel. This is one of those conversations I will never forget.

Gyokhan Hamdi in his own words:

“I'm an ambitious languages and technology enthusiast who has found his way into the entrepreneurial world after over five years of experience in the translation and localization industry.

I've worked as a freelance translator and project manager. I've ultimately decided to combine the industry knowledge I've acquired over the years with my passion for languages and my multicultural background.

It all materialized in my translation company called Transleet, where we work daily with tens of experienced native language specialists to deliver human-quality language services and where we put humans first, and value relationships.

My cultural background and my studies have allowed me to develop a great feeling for languages in general and learn five languages proficiently.

I now speak English, French, Dutch, Bulgarian and Turkish.”

Neste episódio ficamos a conhecer melhor a Mónia Filipe e a Dina Antunes, tradutores literários, que se conhecem já há alguns anos e que se juntaram ao recentemente criado Coletivo de Tradutores Literários.

Este grupo nasce da vontade de vários tradutores que acreditam que a profissão que abraçaram é de importância vital para a cultura e, acima de tudo, para a língua portuguesa, enquanto encontro de culturas e espaço de diversidade.

Vamos ficar a saber o que defendem e esperam do futuro próximo numa área criativa, nomeadamente através do seu Manifesto.

Mónia Filipe trabalha como tradutora literária desde 2019, mas a tradução é a sua profissão de 2007, ano em que começou a sua atividade em áreas mais técnicas.

I invited Project Managers Júlia Breta and Fernanda Morgado to talk about their background, their role and the company they have been working at for many years.

As a Project Manager myself, I was thrilled to have the chance to get to know these very dedicated professionals who truly believe they can make a difference in the Language Industry by being themselves and bringing all that they are to work very day.
