Having been raised in the US by Taiwanese parents, I have been bilingual my entire life.
I have spent the last 14 years in the Defense Industry translating technical documents, such as datasheets and whitepapers for military and government procurements.
It started more as a necessity as the knowledge in the Defense Sector is too niche, and therefore beyond the capabilities of all the translation agencies we could find in Taiwan.
Translation has become a meditative process for me over the years, so even though my career has taken me out of full-time translation, I always look for chances to engage in it.
