Hi everyone!
First of all thank you for taking your valuable time to reply to my post.
I'm a translator EN/FR with 13 years experience and want to give back by helping others who are starting in the field.
Might sound boring to others, but I love what I do!
So I had an idea:
>> Why not publish a course for translators english to french.
As you know, ideas are worthless if they don't match a need or solve a problem.
-> My course is sort of a niche: translators english to french (Tech/IT or engineers).
My topics include: translation process and techniques | specifics of translation for IT and tech documents (user guides, white papers, I provide numerous examples with guided translations and exercises) | Common mistakes | Glossaries, Stylistic guides | Thematic and boolean searches | Revisions, proofreading, post-editing | Syntax, punctuation, terminology...
Here's my questions:
- Is it solving a problem or not and how can I find out?
- Where could I collect valuable feedback or information to find my potential customers?
- Could you poke my ideas and give me your perspective?
- Is it obeying the CENTS model from MJ DeMarco? Since it's a course I know for sure it's scalable and also not time dependent once I've created it. I worry for the C E and N.
My course would be 10 hours at 19,99eur, allowing me to target more people.
I know this is very broad and means nothing for now, but I've got to start somewhere.
THANK YOU!
