Subject: Translations of poems poetic
Hi everyone!
Is it possible to find a job in Russia as a translator of contemporary poems? It seems to me it's really hard. If you have some information, please let me know, 'cause I'm seeking a job in this sphere. Thanks!
Best regards,
L.

Hi there,
Why are you posting in English, are you not a Russian native?
I actually doubt you can find such a job. You may occasionally encounter some one-time offers of this kind, but there's little hope for ongoing cooperation I assume. Even if you find such an opportunity, you are still unlikely to get paid a good sum for that. If I were you, I would be looking for a job in a different area. You can still translate poems just for fun.

I wish I could propose something. There seem to be very low to no demand for poems (esp. contemporary) with the readers today. I am still investigatig how to start the non-technical translator's career for myself. I'll keep trtrtr and lingvophil posted on what I find.
