It wasn\u2019t something that was regularly done in veterinary practice. Luckily, I keep abreast with medical advances and I also have a network of people in different medicine fields always happy to help me out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s7\">This is why this job is so fascinating. It forces you to acquire new knowledge all the time and does not let you <\/span><span class=\"s8\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s9\">l<\/span><span class=\"s10\">ull<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> into a\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s10\">fals<\/span><span class=\"s9\">e <\/span><span class=\"s11\">sense of\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s12\">complacency<\/span><span class=\"s13\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">2. Do you think that any translator can properly work as a medical translator? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">No, definitely not. You really need to specialize in order to be able to provide accurate and truthful translations. I have revised translations not done by specialized translators and they can contain numerous basic, important errors and misinterpretations. In all cases, I wasn\u2019t told the translation had not been done by a medical translator, but I guessed correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">3. What do you do when you do not have new translation projects?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">I try to do all the important but not urgent jobs on the pipeline, such as filling out forms, answering surveys, getting up to date with paperwork\u2026 and I read articles related to my profession or attend a webinar, or I delve into doubts I might have had in previous translations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">4. What do you like the most about your work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">I really wasn\u2019t sure how well I would adapt to an office-type job after 16 years as a Veterinary Surgeon, but it turned out I really enjoy it. I love the fact that I learn something every single day. It makes me keep abreast with new developments and I touch so many different fields. I love learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">It is also a big advantage to be able to work from home, because that allows me to look after my family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">\u00a05. Do you see doctors, nurses and other medical specialists in a different way since you are a medical translator?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">Well, no. I suppose being a Veterinary Surgeon and having worked as such for the first 16<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>years of my profesional career gives me the insight I need and always had when I first became a translator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">6. If you are a freelance translator, how do you separate your personal and professional life? Do you find it difficult?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">It is not just difficult, it is extremely difficult. Apart from working from home, I look after my two children single-handedly. So now, for instance, when school has not started yet (this was written at the end of August), the little one is always asking when I\u2019m going to be able to play with him. The eldest one is easier to handle, but the arguments between the two of them are, to put it mildly, quite distracting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">7. What advise will you give to another medical translator?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s7\">Acquire some basic knowledge about medicine to start with, and then some more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we are interviewing Iolanda, an\u00a0Okomeds medical translator\u00a0who is giving us some insights about her job. 1.What is the most difficult problem that you have ever met in a medical translation?
