#InsideJapan #Episode160
On this episode I’m talking with Paul Flint, the owner of Honyaku Plus, a translation company. We go into how people can get their start in translating, whether or not machine translation software is a threat to future translation jobs, and the different skills you need to be an interpreter vs a translator amongst other things. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
