La gestión de proyectos de traducción es un tema que interesa por igual a jefes de proyecto y a traductores freelance. 

¿Qué información debe incluirse en un presupuesto?, ¿Por qué es fundamental la planificación?, ¿Cómo garantizar la rentabilidad de un proyecto?, ¿Cómo encontrar los recursos más adecuados?, ¿Cuál debe ser el cometido de cada persona? 

En su libro “How to manage your translation projects“ (Cómo gestionar sus proyectos de traducción), la autora Nancy Matis sugiere un enfoque práctico, basado en un análisis del ciclo del proyecto, para responder a estos interrogantes, entre otros, centrándose en áreas de particular interés que aseguran la correcta ejecución de un proyecto de traducción.

I was given "How to manage your translation projects" while working as a translation intern. At first glance, the book seemed very interesting and full of helpful information for getting started in the field of translation.

The book is full of information that can help all young translators get started in this field. A must read!

THE ideal book for any translator who wants to freelance someday or work as a project manager. Even for translators with no interest in managing projects, background knowledge is still a valuable asset for fully understanding one's own work. This book is packed with helpful tips, price lists, and figures, all written clearly and concisely. I highly recommend it, and I plan to hold onto my copy forever for future reference!

A little something extra for my organisation.

Finally, a book rooted in reality, that provides a step-by-step explanation of the translation project life cycle, featuring examples and practical advice. A must-have book for any translator, as well as for teachers wanting to introduce their students to the basics of professional translation.

This book is really interesting for a freelance translator like me. It contains lots of examples and instructions for reproducing them in Excel.

However, I have to admit that I was also expecting to find information about the day-to-day tasks performed by translation project managers.

Still, 4 out of 5 because it covers how I can manage my day-to-day projects!

A book for everyone because it really teaches you how to set prices and provides key details to help you deal with all types of requests. Stay away from other books, which can be completely unreliable, and opt for this Translator's Bible instead. I'll always keep mine within arm's reach.

It is an essential tool for understanding the business. Nancy Matis clearly explains what most translation project managers and freelancers have to learn on the job.

This book is very useful, very well structured and gives a full overview of the PM world. It gives a lot of examples which help the readers to understand better the job of Project Manager.  

As Operations Manager at Lionbridge, I would strongly recommend each PM candidate to read this very interesting and detailed book.

A great book which will help me a lot during my Project Management internship in Paris in the months to come. To be put on your Christmas list or bought it immediately as this is really one of the best books I’ve ever read. It is full of tips and tricks and I think I’m ready for a great internship in France. The only issue: this book is so interesting that I can’t stop reading it, which annoys my boyfriend a little bit…

Translation project manager is a relatively new profession that has been flourishing over the years and just starts to be taught in some schools. The book "How to manage your translation projects" connects the dots between theory and reality and explains in detail how to successfully carry out a translation project and highlights the major pitfalls a PM can face in different types of projects. I recommend this book (or rather manual) to anyone in the translation field who wants to have a better grasp on the different processes involved in a translation project.

Personally, I recommend this book to brand new freelance translators or to seasoned translators eager to improve their own project management practices. It's a real gold mine. The information is clear and easy to understand. The procedures can be fine-tuned according to your own profile and you will certainly find something that will help you in your business, in one way or another.

During my internship as a project manager, my supervisor recommended me the book “How to manage your translation projects”. It quickly became my personal Bible – it’s indeed full of information, allowing you to understand in detail the life cycle of a translation project. 

This book is a must read for any newcomer to the translation market.

I've been delighted to discover your book "How to manage your translation projects". As a new freelance translator and proofreader (I started working part-time last year), I currently work only for direct clients and reading your book helped me better understand how a translation company works.

I plan to extend my professional activities in the year to come and the information provided in your book will be very useful to be efficient on larger projects of various types.
