Default How to set up a business that translates any language

This is an interesting business I came across...

Many people will translate a language or two.

But this business will translate ANY language!

He started out doing his own translations... But then branched out, by outsourcing to other translators.

He even once got a request to translate from ancient Ottoman Turkish! He could only find one person in the world who knew the ancient Ottoman Turkish language - but, he got the job done!

Because of the outsourcing, this is actually a business anyone could set up... You don't even need to be able to speak a second language yourself...

Spanish translations? Decipher ancient Ottoman? Tampa’s Sean Hopwood will translate anything

Best wishes!

What do they do then? Hire freelancers? That's a neat idea.

Hi Terrance,

I imagine he has a bunch of translators "on his books"... If he can promise them regular work, he can probably negotiate a "wholesale rate" for their services... (More profit for him!)

At least, that's how I would approach it!

They'd be contractors (not employees).

Of course, the translators could live anywhere in the world...

Best wishes,

Dien
