Depending on the size of your projects, you may even choose to work both with an agency and freelancers. If you are wondering where to start, here are some advantages that a freelance translator can offer for you.

Advantages a freelance translator can offer you

If you are wondering where to start, here are some advantages that a freelance translator can offer for you.

1. There is a personal touch when working with a freelance translator. You will be able to communicate directly with the person who is translating your text.

2. You can build a working relationship with the translator. Working with the same translator over time, he/she will get to know the product or service you provide. This means the terminology and style used in your texts will be more consistent.

3. You are working with a subject matter expert on the translation project and have confidence that he/she will deliver a quality work.

4. A freelance translator will care about your business the same way you do. He/she will want to understand your business vision, become a part of your team, provide you with cultural and background expertise to directly contribute to your success.

5. Being the immediate decision maker, the freelance translator is more efficient, flexible and responsive to your request.

Choosing a translation company or a freelancer will often depend on the sort of project you have. By defining your needs, it will be easier to communicate with a prospective translator.
