What is a managing translator? We thought up this term to illustrate the concept of a freelance translator who has acquired project management skills and can use several tools. The managing translator is responsible for the project, acting as the freelance manager for all the work. Managing translators can work anywhere in the world and their mindset is geared towards the future. The career paths of Luísa Matos, Rui Sousa and Teresa Sousa share various points in common and they are well-versed in the area of translation project management, through their work as project managers in translation companies and now as freelance translators. Happy reading!
