Medical terminology and Online presence roadmap: Classes start Monday!

Training for Translators has two great four-week classes starting Monday. Both courses include eight live sessions (recordings provided), individual feedback on four homework assignments, and ongoing access to the Training for Translators monthly alumni question and answer sessions.

There is one spot left in Michèle Hansen’s More medical concepts and terminology for freelance translators. Each week focuses on a different topic: the musculoskeletal system, the endocrine system (with a focus on diabetes), the immune system, and cancer, for translators and interpreters who work with medical topics, but didn’t got to med school!

Six spots are left in Madalena Sanchez Zampaulo’s Online presence roadmap for T&I professionals. This course is for translators or interpreters who already have a website, but want a broader online presence or a more targeted marketing strategy. It’s a great time to take this class, since online is the only presence we have right now!

Rebrand time! Thoughts on Translation is becoming Training for Translators

I’m also excited to announce the in-progress rebrand of Thoughts on Translation into Training for Translators. When I started blogging back in 2008 (I know…like the Jurassic era of social media!), I had basically no strategy or purpose other than sharing information with other translators.

Now that the blog and my online courses have grown and grown (thanks to all of you!), now counting over 800 blog posts and over 1,000 online course alumni, I’m splitting them off into their own business, under the name Training for Translators. All old blog post links will still work, and the rebrand will take a little while; you’ll notice changes along the way (such as a new logo!) and I’ll let you know when the switchover is complete. And thanks to all of you for your support along the way!
