Summary:Introduction aux notions financières et économiques avec une approche structurée des concepts. 300 EUR par jour de chiffre d'affaires, OUI, vous avez bien lu! Les tarifs de la traduction financière sont a minima compris entre 0.10 EUR et 0.12 EUR/mot (via agences) et peuvent être bien supérieurs pour des clients en direct et l'accès à ce type de revenus peut se faire très rapidement en ciblant l'apprentissage. Familiarisez-vous avec la terminologie comptable, financière, juridique et de la gestion d'actifs ainsi que les documents proposés par les agences de traduction spécialisées et clients directs que sont les banques, gérants d'actifs, institutionnels,... Les traducteurs financiers font partie des traducteurs les plus recherchés sur le marché, et bien sûr figurent parmi les mieux payés...à condition de démystifier le jargon, accessible à tout un chacun. Il suffit de comprendre les interactions.
Description
Cette session a pour objectif de constituer une introduction ciblée permettant d'avoir les outils conceptuels pour se lancer ou se spécialiser dans la traduction juridico-financière.

En 90 minutes, la traduction financière et juridique vous paraîtra démystifiée et véritablement accessible grâce aux fondamentaux que vous aurez eu l'occasion d'appréhender. Contrairement aux idées reçues, la traduction financière n'a rien d'inaccessible et vous aurez très rapidement la possibilité de cibler des clients qui vous permettront de générer un chiffre d'affaires allant jusqu'à 300 EUR par jour au minimum au bout de quelques mois.
Ce module est le premier d'une série plus étendue et donnera lieu à des ateliers d'application

Bio is EmptyMay 5, 2016

I think that part of the problem is that the trainer's bio is empty. Without information on the trainer's qualifications to teach such a course, it is impossible for participants to know who is teaching them. Also, it looks like the course description has information from two different webinars mixed together - technical issue.

I completely agree with LondonLingua, and when I came across this webinar ad, the same thoughts came to my mind. No, you cannot earn 300 EUR min per day simply because you have acquired some few knowledge about legal and/or financial translation during a 60 or 90 minutes webinar. Neither when you are an experimented translator in such fields, by the way. I am a lawyer myself, and translator specializing in legal and financial since long years, and I can assure you it does not work like that.

Fully agree with London Lingua - We expect better from ProZMay 6, 2016

I am a English to French translator, specialised in law and business. I hold a law degree from a French University, a diploma in business administration from Henley Business School and a diploma in legal translation from IoL, It took me more than 90' to learn what I have learned. It is a bit of an insult to people's intelligence to publish such false publicity from an unverified trainer. We expect better from ProZ.

Hi Helen,

This could be a good occasion to modify the title which should read B.A. BA (instead of B.A.B.A)

Thanks for your attention,
Françoise

However, I wanted to point out a point. It is really possible to access quickly to volume and good rates even if the translator does not immediately have a perfect command of the economical/financial mechanism but I do agree with the comments, you won't be an experienced financial translator i 1 webinar, but for sure this was clear ,:)

Juste pour éclaircir en ce qui concerne la BIO: cette bio n'était pas là quand ce webinaire a été lancé pour la première fois, avec les premières réactions le concernant. Raison pour laquelle Suzanne Deliscar avait aussi mentionné "Bio is empty".

Pour le reste, et pour ma part, je continue tout à fait d'accord avec LondonLingua et les autres qui partagent ce même point de vue.

Bonsoir Claudia,
Je vous remercie pour votre partage d'expérience.
Cela dit, ma réalité et celle de traducteurs avec lesquels je travaille n'est pas celle-ci. C'est sans doute aussi l'occasion d'enrichir nos parcours respectifs.
Bien à vous
Laetitia
