... which involved translation of texts both ways, but nothing at all about the technological fiddle-faddle that obsesses the biz nowadays.

| Translation and the specific field | Apr 4, 2011 |
First, I graduated from an academy as a pharmacist, and second - as a translator. So now I specialize in pharmaceutical and medical translation. I finally managed to combine pharmacy and languages - and I'm happy about it.

I never wanted, I was in love with psychology and pedagogy...finally in my first job my boss would have me translate almost every document coming from Brazil and thus my translation career started....I am incredibly happy! Now I am studying literary translation and going pro on proz.com. I still teach in different universities subjects related to psychology, languages and culture, and have my own private psychological practice.
Couldn't be happier! ▲ Collapse

| teaching then translation or vice vers??? | Apr 4, 2011 |
Having started with translation studies, I never thought I could end up being a language teacher! After graduation and because of the lack of jobs, I started to think seriously about becoming an English teacher, especially that I've already had a B.A. in English. So, I got my language teacher certificate and was eventually an official high school teacher!!!
But the love of translation haunted me so much that I found myself resuming my freelance translating activities while teaching:)

| Languages and linguistics | Apr 5, 2011 |
My undergraduate degree is in languages. After I became a translator, I decided I wanted to understand how language ticks, so years later I went back to do graduate study in linguistics and ended up writing a Ph.D. dissertation on translation theory.
