"Demagogues who manage to get elected, whom I’ve nicknamed ‘incidental rulers,’ seek to degrade the mechanisms that guarantee the rotation in power and secure the checks and balances that safeguard #democracy. When they succeed, they manage to perpetuate themselves in office."

I translated this article by @abranches "Social metamorphosis and #democracy" for the FHC Foundation, and it explains so much. It's a must-read if you're interested in better understanding our times and the changes we are all going through. Read it here: https://t.co/slQeni1wtJ

That moment when your client, who operates globally, refers you to another one of its regional offices. Four and counting! Brazil, UK, USA, and now, France! 💪 😍 #HarkinTranslations #xl8 #t9n

#Language barriers are a major obstacle when trying to do #business with people in other countries. In fact, over 60% of consumers said they don't buy goods and services in another language. Contact us at Harkin Translations to learn more about how we can help you cross borders.

@ilovepdf_com #iLovePDF is truly great!

[Melissa Harkin, CT – ENG, POR, SPA @harkintranslate]

1/2 Dear #translators, here's a hot tip: I've been using #iLovePDF to convert, merge, split, compress, rotate, unlock, and watermark #PDFs with just a few clicks. It's been working A LOT BETTER than Adobe. It's free. #xl8 #t9n #PDF

A #Brazilian #client used the expression "girar a chave" to refer to #creativity related to mindset change. That is a new expression for me in #Portuguese. My #English #translation: to make that light bulb go off. #xl8 #t9n

"#Clients want to know if you can solve their #language and #cultural needs, if you can deliver quality #translations, if you understand who they are and what they do."

[Melissa Harkin, CT – ENG, POR, SPA @harkintranslate]

1/4 So many of my friends and past coworkers became my clients over the years!
📩 When I decided to transition to #translation full-time, I sent everyone I knew an email sharing the news and what I could do for them.
🔁 This last part is super important!

#Repost @xltors101 O trabalho de um #tradutor dos serviços de inteligência não é sentar e só traduzir o dia todo. O foco do trabalho é fazer análises. Para isso, diversas habilidades e conhecimentos são necessários. https://t.co/py2WFg6R6b #traducao #freelancer @harkintranslate

#Zingword is a robust platform with its finger on the market's pulse! @harkintranslate

I love #Zingword! The platform is great and adds tremendous value to #translators and #clients.

@harkintranslate I agree! How we do #translations, however, will continue to change. As Darwin said, "adapt or die".

[Todd Harkin -- 🇧🇷 to 🇺🇸 Translator @harkin_todd]

Only humans can understand the intricacies of human #language, machines can't. The demand for #translation will always be there. How we do translations, however, will continue to change. As Darwin said, "adapt or die".

#Meta claims ‘breakthrough’ in machine #translation for low-resource #languages. But is it really all that? Nope. Only humans can understand the intricacies of human language, machines can't. The demand for translation will always be there. #mt #xl8 #t9n https://t.co/7MNuyEJx8I

@rpstranslations @harkintranslate loves working with @phraseapp. She's used it for four websites already, I think, into two different languages, and always says good things about it.

[Todd Harkin -- 🇧🇷 to 🇺🇸 Translator @harkin_todd]

Yes! They are great! @harkintranslate and I have been blessed with amazing #translation clients!

[Melissa Harkin, CT – ENG, POR, SPA @harkintranslate]

We translated EN>PT and now are translating EN>SP for a multi that delivers #supplychain, #pricing, #financing and #marketintelligence services to the #food, #beverage and #energy sectors. Their employees are awesome and understand the #value of #translation. We're in love! 😍
