"The Translator Guide" (a free e-book by Adriana Tassini)

The Translator Guide is a very useful book for freelance translators. The book is written by Adriana Tassini, who has founded BecomeATranslator.com and the Certified Translation Professional (CTP) Program.

I especially recommend the book to novice translators. However, experienced translators would also enjoy reading the book because it contains some important information about translation theory and translation practice.
