I just want to add, for emerging translators, that there will always be more writers than translators and more translation work out there than all the translators in the world can ever handle. There will always be an undiscovered work that you are the best translator for.

[Harriett Press @HarriettPress]

True.

You know you’re a translator when you look up a word in a dictionary and go, “Nope, that’s not it.”

“K문학의 열풍 따위는 없다. 영미권에서는 적어도 없다. 1년에 영미권에서는 한국의 번역서가 10권 나올까 말까 한다. 전업 한영 번역가는 한 손으로 꼽을 만큼 극히 드물다. 겸업은 조금 더 많다. 나조차도 내년에 풀타임으로 하고 있을지 확신할 수 없다.” https://t.co/CsW92qAP53 (전문)
