It was very good and interesting! Unfortunately I missed the 29th but the translation day I attended. I particularly liked the "Translation Economics – Pricing". Very usefull


Amazing sessions from free tools to mistakes to avoid to managing client expectations (to name a few). Great added value and by far the best way to celebrate Translator's Day. Many thanks!
