Last day of #2023TEF.
Interesting chat during the "Fair play, fair pay" session: a lot of beginners still fall into the "I rather work for peanuts under bad conditions than not at all" trap.
Know your worth! Connect with experienced colleagues and learn from them!

#2023TEF
A representative of a translation agency speaking about the importance of soft skills, but their title is "Resource Manager," they refer to the translators as "resources".
Find the mistake! 🙄

Second keynote speech at #2023TEF - interesting, but also not related to translation industry. Speaker's comment when asked about it "I have no clue what you guys are doing." At least he's honest. Best choice for keynote? Maybe not.

Second keynote speech at #2023TEF about to start: Ashkan Fardost speaking about everyone having misunderstood AI.
Let's see if this will be more relevant for the translation industry than yesterday's keynote speech.

Heike Leinhäuser pointing out that when you decide to become a freelance translator, you have to be aware that you are running a business.
Exactly! Unfortunately, a lot of people in the industry are not and accept every bad condition LSPs throw at them.

Day 2 of #2023TEF - looking forward to hearing what the panellists have to say about the attractiveness of the language industry for in-house and freelance translators.

Couldn't make it to Brussels because of the train strike, so at my desk watching the stream of #2023TEF. Feels so 2020.

Nice to see a familiar face on stage at #2023TEF : Carlos la Orden Tovar, one of the panellists speaking about promoting languages and the translation profession.
Don't lose focus. 🙂

Nice general keynote speech on AI at #2023TEF, however, missed the relevance for the challenges the translation industry. How do we have to adapt to survive AI? #XL8 #translator

AI: Apocalypse imminent or will humanity rise again?
Keynote speech by Katja Schipperheijn at #2023TEF
The majority of the audience is still
not afraid to lose their jobs to AI. #XL8 #positivethinking
