Why Should We Help Our Competitors? – On Giving and Receiving Constructive Feedback

Why on earth should we help our competitors by giving them constructive feedback when we revise their translations? Will we not put up obstacles on our own road to success and the big bucks by helping the competition? In this webinar about the relationship between translator and reviser, you will learn how everyone involved can benefit from a collaborative approach. In one hour, you will learn the advantages of helping your fellow translators out by pointing out areas of improvement, and how you can advance your own career in the process, for instance by becoming the go-to person at your favorite translation agency. You will get hands-on tips on how to revise translations in a way that helps you increase your own as well as the translator’s knowledge – for your own good, for the translator, and for the business as a whole. After this session, you will have a set of strategies for giving constructive feedback when revising other people's translations, and for when you receive feedback from revisers on your own work.
