    I am definitely finding the interesting issue that you mentioned with Arabic. I am a native English speaker who studied Arabic as an undergraduate and then translation in graduate school. It seems like there isn’t much content being translated from Arabic into English (or if there is I’m not seeing it), and there are also a lot of Arabic native speakers translating into English. It’s been very difficult for me to find jobs!

    Hi Cierra, absolutely, Arabic is a difficult market. I don't envy anyone working in this language. However, if you make it to the top, it is one of the most rewarding languages (exactly the point of the video, right). If I was an Arabic native, I'd probably also offer translations into EN just due to the shear amount of demand.

    Fantastic video, Adrian! But I have a few questions, though. 1. What are the rates that are shown on Proz? Are they the rates agencies are paying? 2. Spanish is my strongest language since I was raised in Spain, originally from Bulgaria, though. What language would be more lucrative for me to learn first, Russian or German? Learning any of them would be easy, since I enjoy learning languages and have a pretty good memory. Bulgarian and Russian are 60% mutually intelligible, and I could have an extremely high passive proficiency in Russian in a few months. And I believe it is easier to find an astronaut than it is to find a native Spanish speaker, fluent in any Slavic language. 3. When I check the rates on Proz, for translating into Spanish, I see that some languages that are the same (Bulgarian/Macedonian or Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian/Montenegrin) have different rates. The standard for Bulgarian and Serbian into Spanish is 0.09 euros, and for Macedonian, Bosnian and Croatian is 0.10 euros. How comes? If some Balkan nationalist is going to comment the similarities and differences of these languages, please, do restrain yourself! This is not about politics. Many thanks :)

    So sorry, Stoyan! I completely forgot that. Yes, I will probably include it in the Q&A as it's great questions, but I still want to answer you now also. 1. The rates you see on proz are averages that translators reported that they are getting paid. It's probably mostly agencies, but it also contains direct clients. It's an average for the language combination. 2. Russian-Spanish is definitely a super interesting language combination, especially in today's climate. So if you say that you're basically halfway there with your Bulgarian, I would go for Russian. It's probably gonna take you too long to get to a working knowledge of German. 3. Don't worry too much about the rates on Proz, as I said, it's an indication based on user reports from the site. They are just that, an indication. You don't need to charge 10 cents if that's what it says there. Try to use it as a "minimum", try to charge more and don't go under the average, that's what I do at least :) And yes, correct, nothing about politics here :D everyone is free to express themselves. Take care! Adrian

I know not all translations but for example I’m translating a magazine right now. I’ve seen people credited at the end of books and such. Do you have a recommendation? I feel super weird turning it in and have them see I wrote my name to give myself credit Lol

    Hi Sidra, both Mandarin and French are great options. It depends a bit what part of the world you want to focus on. With Mandarin, you open yourself to much more exposure in terms of possible workload, with French, the market rates are generally more stable and if you wish to go into international organisations like the UN, you will have greater chances. Whatever you go for, both are great options to add to your repertoire.

    Hi! thank you very much for the information, I am an aspiring translator, just starting, a pure, thorough and true beginner of any sort. I was just wondering about the Portuguese language, since I speak fluently Portuguese, I was wondering if the market for this language was at par with Spanish due to the amount of population that, of course, allows for very high competition, but still does it not really be sought after?

    Hi Mafalda, Portuguese is indeed a good market. There is definitely demand for that. Really specialize on one specific local though, don't just offer general Portuguese.
