If you are a translator and you are on Facebook, you might be interested in the group "Standing Out." From the group's description: "The focus here is broadly on what's going right in our working lives, and on the philosophy that makes that happen: the values, attitudes and beliefs which help people get ahead, assuming they have decent professional skills. We believe there is room online for an upbeat space, as it's when in a more positive and relaxed frame of mind that we find the best and most creative solutions to our questions. Humour, imagination, letting go and inventiveness are key tools in facing the daily realities of freelance life." https://www.facebook.com/groups/standingoutgroup/ Advertisement ------------------------------------ Easy-to-use & dependable: DVX3 is the must-have CAT tool for all translators.
