Happy about the past, uncertain for the future.
Jan 5, 2025
Professionally 2024 was my second best year ever, with only a few hundreds of euros short of my best year ever. So, I couldn't be much happier about my translation year.
The future, however, is more uncertain than ever. We are amid a worrying mix of rising geopolitical tensions, rather pessimistic economic forecasts and an increasing influence of AI and machine translation on our profession.

Things to mitigate the worries:
- January has started off well, with already a few orders confirmed and a few others in the pipeline. It also happened to be the least good month in 2024, so I wouldn't worry too much if that would be the case once again.
- I've looked into the publicly available numbers of my main customers and they all seem to be doing still okay until now.
