This can feel like a difficult thing to do, especially in a profession where we are used to working alone and behind the scenes.It can be especially daunting if you’re a new translator or interpreter. It’s not that easy to know where to start, and finding someone who will guide and encourage you can feel nearly impossible. So, how do you go about finding mentors and a community of people who help you grow and develop?Here’s a summary of our discussion:• How getting involved in the T&I community can help you surround yourself with people who encourage and push you to be better at your craft• How to figure out what you want in a mentor or someone you look up to who makes you want to be better at your work• Why it's important to be aware of but tune out what isn’t in your best interest• Who can be a mentor from afar and how they can inspire and encourage you even if you don’t know them personally• How timing can impact what you're looking for in a mentor and why your mentors can be different at different stages of your career• How to make the mentoring experience rewarding not just for yourself but for your mentor too• How people who surround you can encourage and push you (in a good way!) to be better• Why those you surround yourself with don’t necessarily have to be in the same field or industryRESOURCES WE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:• Madalena’s website, courses, and blog• ATA 62nd Annual Conference website• Episode 2: Impostor Syndrome• Episode 37: Smart Habits for Improving Your Online Research with Elizabeth Adams• The Entrepreneurial Linguist: The Business-School Approach to Freelance Translation by Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jenner• Boomerang app• Likewise app• WONDERBOOM Portable Waterproof Bluetooth SpeakerSee the full list of links and resources for this episode:https://smarthabitsfortranslators.com/podcast-episodes/43

El 2020 fue un año muy especial y por eso quisimos despedirlo con un episodio diferente, abrir las puertas de este espacio que solemos transitar solas y brindar con quien quisiera y pudiera sumarse, sin mucha anticipación ni preparación (perdón por eso, ¡fue un impulso!) Así es como un 30 de diciembre, a pasitos de arrancar un nuevo año, grabamos un poco del delirio de siempre, pero bajo la mirada (y las risas) de algunas/os/es podcastescuchas de distintas partes del mundo que vinieron a acompañarnos, y además nos honraron con su presencia Judy Jenner y Ernesto Niño Murcia, ¡dos de nuestras celebrities entrevistadas! Hicimos un poco de repaso de lo que fue este año surrealista y hasta surgieron algunos hashtags para definirlo como #adiós2020 #2020cancelled #2020gohome #2020novuelvas #Notevoyaextrañar #byefelicia #sayonara2020. Pero, a pesar del sentimiento común, decidimos reflexionar sobre los aspectos positivos del twentytwenty, como la proliferación de oportunidades de capacitación, la generosidad de colegas de renombre que compartieron sus conocimientos gratuitamente, la posibilidad de asistir a eventos que de otro modo serían inalcanzables, la capacidad para adaptarse y reinventarse, el boom de memes que nos permitieron reírnos mucho en medio de todo este bardo y, seguramente, cada quien tendrá algo más para pensar y atesorar de este 2020 que se va. Así que con este episodio especial solo queremos decir GRACIAS. Agradecemos todos los días poder seguir haciendo esto y que este pódcast se convierta en un espacio de encuentro, de aprendizaje y de amor a la profesión. Brindamos por un 2021 de logros, de trabajo, de salud. Brindamos también para que podamos dejar las pantuflas un poco de lado, volver a ver a mucha gente en persona (no en cuadraditos de zoom), hacer más ejercicio, y siempre, siempre, seguir divulgando la importancia de nuestra profesión para erradicar forever otro virus que anda dando vueltas por ahí: la idea de que esto lo hace cualquiera como una changa o una maquinita sin supervisión. Alzamos las copas por un 2021 maravilloso para este gremio de laburantes aguerridos, siempre dispuestos a aprender más y a dar más. ¡Salú, colegas!

When was the last time you thought about an interpreter? Odds are, unless you've been arrested in a foreign country and needed a good court interpreter, it's probably been a minute.  Right? But Judy Jenner is out to change that.  She was a guest on a recent episode of the Move the World with Words Podcast, and had a lot to say about: the role of the interpreter in our current culture, the times in her life when she's had to own up to her failures, and how she decided in Middle School that she wanted to own a cross-cultural consulting firm.  You can find out more about the passionate translators who Move the World with Words by subscribing to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, or here. 

In episode seven, Dolores Guiñazú interviewed Judy & Dagmar Jenner, TWIN TRANSLATIONS. Judy lives in Las Vegas since she was a teenager, where she also pursued her higher education. She received her M.B.A. (summa cum laude) in Marketing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2001. Judy is the past president of the Nevada Interpreters and Translators Association and currently chairs the organization’s professional development committee. In 2010, she was named one of the “Women to Watch” by the business newspaper InBusiness and was the alumna of the year for the Honors College of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is a federally certified court interpreter (Spanish), a master-level court certified Spanish interpreter (Supreme Court of Nevada), a court-registered German interpreter in Nevada, and a certified court interpreter in California. She teaches translation and interpretation at the University of California-San Diego (Extension) to online students pursuing the certificate in English/Spanish translation and interpretation studies.Dagmar received the equivalent of a master’s degree in French and Communications from the University of Salzburg (Austria) and an undergraduate degree in Spanish and French translation and interpretation as well as a master’s degree in French and Spanish conference interpreting from the University of Vienna (Austria). She is an accredited freelance conference interpreter for the institutions of the European Union and works in the German booth (from English, Spanish, and French into German). Dagmar is the president of UNIVERSITAS Austria, the Austrian Interpreters’ and Translators’ Association. She’s an expert on the new German orthography reform and frequently gives workshops on this complex subject. In addition, Dagmar teaches consecutive interpreting (English/Spanish->German) in the master’s degree program at the University of Vienna. Dagmar lives in Vienna, Austria, and spends her summers and, oftentimes, her winters in (you guessed it!) Vegas, enjoying her twin’s company and the desert sun.In April 2010, Judy and Dagmar published the highly anticipated book, “The Entrepreneurial Linguist: The Business-School Approach to Freelance Translation”, which has received great reviews around the world and has sold more than 4,000 copies. In this entrepreneurial interview, Judy & Dagy share with us how the idea of their book developed, and they talk about the mindset of highly successful language entrepreneurs. They generously share their tips as well as how to move forward in an evolving and changing profession. In the words of Judy & Dagy, “Let’s start with a small paradigm shift that will benefit us all professionally. Most of us are humanists, and as such, we don’t have much of a business background. Linguists are very much in demand in the global marketplace, we have very specific skills that are of utmost importance for any corporation that does business on a global scale. Start thinking of yourself as an essential part of the international communications chain, and price your services accordingly. Let’s collectively work on our Entrepreneurial Linguist mindset!” Human Translations, as our lovely colleague Sandy Jones stated this year, is what sets us apart from MT (machine translation) and AI (artificial intelligence). This is the final episode of our FIRST SEASON of the ATA Spanish Division Podcast. This new 2020, let us highlight the importance of being #humantranslators. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do, because TOGETHER, WE ALWAYS GROW. Thanks for listening!

Poder ejercer la profesión de traductor o intérprete y vivir de ella a veces puede parecer una tarea imposible, pero no lo es. En el episodio de hoy, nos acompaña Judy Jenner, quien no solo ha montado una empresa exitosa junto a su hermana melliza Dagmar, sino que además contribuye activamente a la profesión difundiendo información valiosa a través de distintos canales. Judy es oriunda de Austria y se crió en México en un hogar trilingüe. Es traductora e intérprete certificada para tribunales federales en Estados Unidos; es miembro y spokesperson de la ATA; fue presidente de la Nevada Interpreters and Translators Association; y forma parte de la Junta Directiva del programa de traducción de la University of California en San Diego, donde también dicta clases en el programa en línea de dicha universidad. En 2008 creó junto a Dagmar el reconocido blog de traducción Translation Times y son autoras del libro The Entreprenurial Linguist. La idea de crear una empresa de traducción junto a su hermana surgió cuando eran muy pequeñas. Como siempre habían estado en contacto con los idiomas y se les daba muy bien, les pareció que esto era lo más lógico. “Empezamos de cero. Hicimos todos los errores posibles”. En un principio, Dagmar se dedicaba a tiempo completo a la empresa y Judy trabajaba como traductora a tiempo parcial para otra empresa. Después de algunos años de dedicar su tiempo a ambas ocupaciones, se dio cuenta de que lo que realmente quería era seguir trabajando con su hermana y poner todo su esfuerzo en hacer crecer la empresa que crearon juntas. Para Judy y Dagmar, todo esto fue un proceso natural, pero la realidad es que a muchos traductores e intérpretes les cuesta pensarse como pequeños empresarios. Montar una empresa propia genera mucho temor e incertidumbre, pero hay que “entender que además de ser traductor o intérprete, eres un mini empresario y eso conlleva un esfuerzo tremendo y que a lo mejor no a todo el mundo le gusta”. Las universidades no forman a sus estudiantes para llevar adelante empresas y no les dicen que el 90 % del trabajo es autónomo (y no en relación de dependencia). El lado positivo de esto, si se quiere, es que actualmente hay muchísima más información disponible que antes. Hay innumerables blogs de profesionales de la traducción, sitios web de asociaciones, libros digitales, etc. que ofrecen información valiosa para abrirse camino en la industria. Uno de los más reconocidos es el libro de Corinne McKay: How to succeed as a freelance translator. “Hay que entender que de alguna forma u otra el mercado laboral se tiene que enterar de que uno existe como proveedor de servicios. Si no hay conciencia en el mercado de tu existencia, ¿cómo vas a vender los servicios?”. Judy está convencida de que el éxito de un traductor freelance depende de su capacidad para atraer clientes y hacerlos felices. Aconseja comunicarles a los clientes tu agradecimiento con ellos por el trabajo que te proporcionan y tratarlos como te gustaría que te traten a ti… Y sí, entregar algún que otro presente ayuda a fortalecer la relación que tienes con ellos y a diferenciarte de los demás. Para cerrar, cuando le preguntamos cómo ve al traductor del futuro, nos respondió que para ella la tecnología y el manejo de herramientas informáticas va a jugar un papel muy importante; que siente que no hay marcha atrás en las tecnologías de alto nivel; y que como traductores tenemos que adaptarnos e interiorizarnos en el tema antes de salir corriendo.
