As we gear up for this year's Giving Tuesday, I found myself looking back at the impact of our previous events. It’s incredible to see how a single day dedicated to generosity can ripple outward, creating lasting change. Whether it was through the funds raised, the awareness built, or the sense of community strengthened, the results have truly inspired us to dream even bigger this year.

Let me take you on a journey through the highlights of our past Giving Tuesday, showcasing the incredible efforts of everyone involved and the lives that were touched because of your generosity.

In today's increasingly interconnected world, the concept of digital nomadism has gained significant traction. More and more professionals are discovering the freedom and flexibility that comes with working remotely while exploring the globe. For freelance translators and linguists, this lifestyle is particularly appealing, as the nature of their work is often perfectly suited for life on the move. The transition to becoming a digital nomad may seem daunting at first, but it offers opportunities for both personal growth and career development.

Freelancing can be rewarding, but it also comes with challenges—especially when it comes to maintaining a steady income and a consistent workflow. One way to overcome this is through the DEEP strategy. The DEEP strategy is an approach designed to provide freelance translators with long-term stability and growth. This strategy is based on four interconnected principles: Diversification, Expansion, Elevation, and Prosperity.

Courtroom interpreting is a high-stakes profession that demands precision, quick thinking, and a deep understanding of both language and legal systems. As more court proceedings move online, interpreters are finding themselves navigating new challenges that come with remote work. While technology has made it easier to attend hearings from anywhere, it has also introduced complexities that can heighten the pressure of an already demanding job.

In the latest interview for the ProZ.com Women in Translation initiative, I had the pleasure of speaking with an incredible group of women who collaborated on a groundbreaking project: the Spanish translation of Lunes o martes, a collection of short stories by Virginia Woolf. This is the first book in the Clásicos accesibles (accesible classics) collection from Ciempiés, an independent publishing house focused on accessibility and inclusivity.

In a world where technology evolves at breakneck speed, it's no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) has found its way into the intricate art of translation and subtitling. But what does this mean for those of us who have spent years honing our craft in this field? One of our upcoming speakers at ProZ.com Meetups, Salvador Balbuena, an experienced translator and subtitler, has an inspiring story that sheds light on this very question.

The scariest part of any change is that there is always something to lose. When confronted with change, we must determine what we will lose by changing and what we will lose by staying the same.
