BoliviaTranslators.com Membership

BoliviaTranslators.com is not a translation agency. It was founded by Charis Barks, a long-time translator and conference interpreter, to provide a way to match companies overseas with professional freelance translators and interpreters in Bolivia, and conversely, for Bolivia-based translators and interpreters to more effectively market their skills and services worldwide.

The idea behind forming a membership-based group of translators and interpreters is to market the services of only the very best, most experienced translators and interpreters in Bolivia to companies and organizations in other countries such as the USA, Canada, UK and others, and to do this in attachment with BoliviaBella.com (also owned by Charis) because of its already-established global reach.


What are the criteria for membership?

The criteria for membership are basic:

All members must have a minimum of 8 years of experience as translators and/or interpreters, and
All members must offer English as one of their native or translation language pairs.
All members must agree to uphold a minimum price standard when quoting customers who contact them through BoliviaTranslators.com.
Our minimum prices will, in fact, be published online.


What benefits does membership include?

Our yearly membership fee will include the following:

YOUR ONLINE PROFILE
An online profile will be built for each translator interpreter. Prospective customers can browse through each profile to find the translator or interpreter best suited for their project. They will have access to the following information before they contact you.

Your biography and photo
Your resume in English
Your resume in Spanish
A list of clients or events you've worked for/at
Your voice recordings in English and Spanish
A direct contact form on each of your pages


MARKETING YOUR SKILLS OVERSEAS

Need more reasons for membership?

► The US Bureau of Labor Statistics recently stated that employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow by 18 percent (18%) from 2012 to 2026, faster than almost all other occupations! Translators and interpreters living in Bolivia can access this market if we act now.

► In 2013 the average income for translators and interpreters was $46.000 to $77.000 per year. Imagine if you could capture some of that translation and interpretation work and earn a similar income while still living in Bolivia? That's the goal of becoming a member.

► The language services industry (interpreting, translation, localization, and language technologies) is worth $33 billion globally. Interpreters and translators can earn up to six figures annually. Most are freelancers.

► 10% of translators and interpreters in the US earn over $90.000 per year. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics lists translation and interpretation as the 4th fastest growing profession in the USA.

Translators: you don't have to live in the USA to work for US companies. Interpreters: you can capture clients who will be holding events in Bolivia before they contact interpreters who are not members, because BoliviaTranslators.com is already the first to be found in Google searches.

► So how can we improve our working conditions? USA interpreters and translators know the answer. They've focused for years on one thing: uplifting our profession together. NOT compromising on standards. NOT reducing prices! NOT working against each other. Join today.
