INTERVIEW:
Helena El Masri
|
Q. How did you come to the translation business?
A. I started working as an Interpreter after passing my DPSI exam�and from that a
Diploma in Translation sounded like a wise choice because I wanted to start
working full time on a freelance basis. I wanted to�have a�career�but still have
time for my two children, therefore working�from home was the only way to
combine both.

Q. What was the most critical or challenging situation as a translator and how did you manage it?
A. Every translation is a challenge and that is what fascinates me in this
profession. I'm passionate about my work and when I find a challenge or problem
I do research. The best way�to solve a problem is to learn about it inside out.
If you research and learn as much as possible about what posed the problem, it
then becomes an achieved success.
Q. What was the funniest event in your career as a translator?
A. The event wasn't particularly funny but what happened was. I had the flu once and my
7 year old daughter asked me if I had any translations I needed to finish
because she could very well take over if I wanted her to... she even went on to
explain that she knew how to consult the dictionary and that she could answer
the phone... bless her!
