I am the Director of an online Master’s program in Translation at a time when neural networks, AI technologies, and Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming the industry. These rapid changes have required us to adapt the way we teach, since the Master’s program I am honored to lead started its activities nearly 20 years ago, in a very different context. Today, however, genuine innovations are often surrounded by so much hype that it can be difficult to distinguish reality from marketing. How should we steer our teaching?

In an era where gender inequality is still widespread, the translation industry presents an intriguing paradox: while male employees often out-earn their female colleagues in salaried roles, women freelancers in this field are thriving, out-earning men by a notable margin.

A few days ago, I shared a reflection on LinkedIn (in English) and Instagram (in Spanish) about the increasing resonance of imposter syndrome in professional conversations. I didn’t expect it to trigger so many direct messages from people, both familiar and new, who all shared a common experience: they had dealt with imposter syndrome and felt compelled to share their stories with me.

Once again, Gabriel Fairman invites us to analyze contemporary struggles with a perspective from distant times and to think how we, as humans, can reinvent ourselves and get messy!

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.

Book translation is a unique field that requires both deep knowledge of the languages and the culture involved. It is not even translation but rather “rewriting” in another language or “re-authoring”, a process which is now referred to by many as transcreation. A book translator does their best to deliver the same idea as the idea of the original text, conveys the style and the energy of the original, and even may create new words in order to show a reader the fantastic world that the author created in their masterpiece.
