Good afternoon!  I'm Kerry J Harrison at the business desk and it's time for our new weekly feature featuring news for translators.

This feature is still very new and already we've been receiving positive feedback.  Thank you!

The potential for translators is very real.  Opportunities abound and with the increasing growth of global trade, and now the push towards dealing with global warming, the demand for translators is only going to grow at phenomenal rates.  Please do not under estimate the demand for translators.  It is real and it is only going to get better.

Translators/writers are in great demand these days.  Translators who can help investors, lawyers, real estate agents, plus more, are also in demand.  If you can translate and write at the same time then you're definitely it.  If you love the fast pace of financial markets, and dealing with people, then you're the future.

 

Now for our translator news round-up of the week.
