Coronavirus Tracker: Economic Impact for Translators
We’re posting polls on Twitter and Facebook, in some translator groups, and linking to the Twitter polls on LinkedIn.
Purpose of these polls
By taking a simple survey, we can gauge the impact of the coronavirus on translators’ home economies and catch a glimpse of the larger economy.
Results
We altered the question for the second week to remove interpreting, because what we have heard is that most interpreting jobs are simply stopping, so that data wasn’t helping. This is reflected in the data, with the percentage of translators who are impacted seeming to drop to around 33%.
But one thing is, if you do know any interpreters, by all means send them some translation work to help them out.
How has #coronavirus changed your translation o̵r̵ ̵i̵n̵t̵e̵r̵p̵r̵e̵t̵i̵n̵g̵ business?
