The Translator's Handbook, Fifth Edition

It is useful, educational, and practical. Any potential or professional translators and/or interpreters should use it. I'm a potential and/or freelance translator. This helps a lot - to know the requirements to enter the translation field or just to improve and enhance certain skills, talents, and knowledge. You have to know more than one language and know about the culture, government and customs, and technical terms, and be able to translate from one language to another in different fields and sectors, and be accurate to be a translator....

Quick service

I received the book sooner than I expected and although it was a used book it was in such a good condition that I didnt know if I have ordered a new one or a used one until I checked the bill. Thanks for the great service.

Excellent Book
