Today I am really pleased to be able to offer you a post in French, by Manuela Ciuruc. She has some interesting suggestions about working with agencies.

Manuela is a translator and lawyer-linguist who works in French, Romanian and English. She has worked for large international groups, and took the prestigious Masters juriste-linguiste at the University of Poitiers, as well as a Masters in Translation Studies. She worked on the translation of the Romanian Code of Civil Procedure.
