VIENNA: Café

Vienna is famous for its cafés, where for centuries artists and students have enjoyed coffee specialities and pastries while debating the latest events or writing a play. Traditionally, coffee is served on a silver platter, along with pre-packaged sugar cubes and a glass of cold tap water. In addition, cafés provide free newspapers and magazines to read on-site and let patrons linger for hours. My husband and I used to work on translations at one such cafe, since our apartment lacked heat.

Procedures

This section describes the ways in which I work. It shows how I ensure that your projects are reliably delivered, even if disaster should strike at my office. The page on new clients summarizes the steps I take when opening a relationship with a new client. Over time, I will be adding pages on my workflow, the tools and reference materials I use and other such topics. I also regularly write about issues relating to translation and working as a freelancer on my blog, On Language and Translation.
