Q. Are you optimistic about the future of the language industry?

Carl: I’m optimistic in that people will always increasingly want to communicate and so there is a role for language professionals, but sometimes technology is imposed upon us and does not make the job necessarily easier.

Q. What’s the most rewarding part of your career as a freelance translator?

Carl: Having the freedom to call the shots, work as much as I want, where and when I want to. I’m currently on holiday in France.

Q. What is next for you in your career?

Carl: I want to keep going down the path I’ve chosen, building my business and work on marketing myself better now that I’ve gained greater experience working for a huge variety of public and private sector clients.
