#TeamTranslator is an online group for translators to support one another.

#TeamTranslator is first and foremost a positive and inclusive community for freelancers in the translation industry to support one another.

Started by Anikó Pető-Mordovski and Kelsey Frick, #TeamTranslator was born out of discussions about often unclear guidance on freelancing and achieving financial stability as a translator.

Drawing on our own previous experiences building networks and communities within the sector, we created an easily-accessible, permanent community on Slack.

Our aim was to provide a platform where translators at any stage of their career can have meaningful conversations about their businesses in a positive and safe space.
