Think of the most memorable translation project you have ever had \u2013 an assignment that shaped your professional career and that you were happy to give your name to. It is probably a project on which you worked with a partner \u2013 be it a colleague, the author, or a high-profile expert. And in all likelihood, a translation on which you received exceptionally focused feedback.
\nIf you think of the worst nightmare project you have ever had, chances are that it was also one with partners \u2013 just not the right partners.
\nUsing real-life examples, I will show you what I learned from my collaboration with first-rate experts in the relevant subject area, from colleagues working in my own language pair, and from colleagues working in the reverse language pair. This collaboration is not always without friction, but identifying and analysing the most sensitive aspects can seriously reduce conflict \u2013 or at least help you avoid it in future.
\nBeing a freelancer means you are free to choose whom you work with: your clients as well as your partners. Only by understanding the power of the latter can you can make the most of the freelancer\u2019s advantage.\n<\/p>\n
