Check out memoQ translator pro: https://www.memoq.com/products/memoq-translator-proAfter 2022, I was invited for the second time to memoQ's annual industry event called memoQfest. I had an amazing time at the two day conference. There was a bunch of interesting talks to pick from that ran at the same time. I think I picked very well and learnt a lot. Thanks for checking out the video!DisclaimerPlease note that the Auto Translate function by YouTube provides translations of very poor quality and I suggest to only use it very sparingly. I always offer people to subtitle the videos into their native language if they want to build up a portfolio. In that case, drop me a message to:freelanceverse@gmail.com.*Credits"Song: Ehrling - You And Me (Vlog No Copyright Music)Music provided by Vlog No Copyright Music.Video Link: • Ehrling - You And Me (Vlog No Copyright Music)Drone video by Attila Pergel: https://www.pexels.com/video/buda-and-pest-17829256/Tram video by Tibor Janosi Mozes from Pixabay
