Some fields have gone down (a big drop in translation demand from my consumer-goods clients) but others have gone up (a growth in translation demand for Covid-19 related documents). All in all, things balanced out just fine…

Who knows. May 17, 2022

Who knows? Fact is that I never (apart from the disastrous month of May 2020) noticed any decline in translation requests whatsoever.

In fact, I don't translate quite often for the medical field, so I would not be able to feel that it had such a demand increase due to the pandemic.

Demand gone up? May 18, 2022

I was recently asked to translate a medical book in Russian entitled: "Diagnostics of Allergies Using Blood Neutrophils". Most likely this had something to do with the pandemic.

I don't work in any of the Corona related fields. Surely for those of my colleagues who do the demand for translations has increased.

Although I translate articles dealing with medical research, I've had only 4 assignments related to Covid in the past 2 years.

Volume-wise, I'd say that the Covid has accounted for a large share of my work. Another change, to my surprise, has been a preponderance of work from Portuguese (90% so far this year), whereas in the past Spanish accounted for most of the volume. But this is probably related to staffing patterns rather than Covid.
