I agree with Rachel that the translation industry is seasonal and that also google techniques to promote businesses might also affect translation businesses but that is life!

My experience in this field shows that during the summer holidays and Christmas translation workload gets on stand by or decreases whereas the rest of the year it tends to increase. Also, depending on easy it is to find your website on search engines you are more likely to receive more work As I see it, translation services are seasonal.

As you will probably imagine google has different ways to promote certains companies and nobody can understand who it really functions so if you think translation services are on the increase or, on the other hand, decreasing I think you should look around and realise that translation is always on demand, all you have to do is to change your prices a bit or your services if you are a translator and if you are a client just do some more research The translation seesaw, in my opinion, happens continuosly and I don´t think the situation has changed that much due to the so-called crisis.

The most common translation pairs such as english to spanish or spanish to english will always have to deal with more competence in the online market so, my suggestion is to give extra services such as shorter deadlines Tough times for everyone, I am afraid.

El hecho de la crisis puede haber afectado pero también la creciente competencia. I belive translation services have as much competence as any other professional service. The crisis could have affected this market but the growing competence can´t be forgotten Yo creo que los servicios de traducción tienen tanta competecia o más que cualquier otro servicio profesional.

For example people are always going to need to get their certificates translated to work abroad, birth certificates in order to obtain nationality in foreign countries and so on. However, I must say I have seen a slight downturn from smaller companies wanting to localise there brochures, products etc... Also the large multinationals seem to be translating only want has to be translated. In summary, everyone is tightening their belts! Ciao!

This year there has been an increase in many areas of legal and financial translation as companies are now seeking new sources of finance (or trying to renew the credit facilities they already had). Other translation clients are looking to expand and offer their services on new markets which are less sensitive to the current financial situation.
