he's self employed at 21 and makes 120k a year

I dunno stardusk says the hours are hell for little pay but then again he did Korean and European languages

maybe if you work for a company it's worse

If you can get 4 in demand languages under your belt you're golden

Translators usually require specialization

yeah i think he knows mandarin, arabic, russian and farsi

You can if your dad is a je.... I mean janitor

idk how in demand the rest are

Plus translation is being automated

not to expert level

or native level

@Space wix He's one of us

I sensed it

mandarin is extremely complicated and so is cantonese

cantonese has like 7 or 8 different tones

mandarin has 4

Cantonese is fine once you know mandarins

Actually

@Deleted User As well as Ching Chong Changense

The Chinese has bunch of dialects

fuckity fuck fuck fuck

yeah

So it isn't necessary to master them on that level

theres shanghaiese

or something

You just need to speak and understand

shanghai dialect

doesn't the government hire translators

@Punished Korgoth <:damn:480188339622903829>

russian ones arabic ones

too

the government has the ability to hire translators, like everyone else

I know Cantonese, mandarins, hokkien and hakka. Cantonese and hakka at minimal

If you wanna know the important ones, go for mandarin then Cantonese

The rest are more or less unimportant

Thanks for the advice though, I'll come back to you on my oh so interesting future plan if it arises

I know 2 hand signs in every language

yep

hong kong is dominated by cantonese

Rip Hong Kong
