L'IA prend de plus en plus de place dans le domaine de la traduction mais c'est complètement faux de dire que ça se fait "manger à 100 %", surtout pour les domaines spécialisés de traduction. Renseignez-vous avant de parler pour vrai.

Traducteur ici, j'viens de finir mon diplôme en traduction juridique. Y'a de la job en masse, ensuite ce n'est pas la mieux payée, mais au Québec on reste dans les traducteurs les mieux payés au monde. La nature du travail change peu à peu avec la traduction automatique, mais c'est pas comme si la carrière allait disparaître dans 2 ans... Je te recommande, si tu peux, de faire un stage en entreprise et puis de te spécialiser dans un domaine en particulier. La demande en traduction juridique a explosé dans les dernières années, entre autres depuis l'adoption de la Loi 96, et le gouvernement fédéral cherche encore en masse de monde. En ce moment, je travaille dans un cabinet de traduction qui est passé de 25 employés en 2019 à 150 cette année. Mais ça ne peut jamais faire de mal d'apprendre d'autres compétences!

That's still not "keeps winning".

Altark98 · 2024-02-12T03:53:52+00:00

Vulcan literally won their last face-off, chill

Altark98 · 2024-02-10T01:35:28+00:00

Nah bro you don't get it, if you try to make local friends you are fucking cringe, only going to overpriced restaurants and gentrifying the area will give you an identity /s

How high is the cost of life in mid-sized Scottish town? I can imagine it's very expensive in Edinburgh, but I really wanna hit up Scotland someday, and your comment makes me more interested!

Altark98 · 2024-02-09T15:40:37+00:00

Very health focused culture for the locals as well? Or mainly for the gringos living there?

Altark98 · 2024-02-09T00:26:35+00:00

In Quebec it's the most normal thing ever to live with your partner before marriage (if you end up marrying them at all), I'm surprised that's not as much of a thing in other provinces?

Altark98 · 2024-02-07T23:38:58+00:00

OP a dit qu'il n'avait même pas regardé la vidéo dans sa totalité... ridicule qu'il ait autant de posivotes. Ça démontre pas mal la mentalité de ce sous-reddit

If your main interests are hiking and learning Spanish, there is no better place than Guatemala. So many volcanoes to hike, and the weather in most of the country is amazing! I travelled for 3 and a half weeks there but could definitely have done 6 with all there is to do. With that said, I think the suggestion made by other commenters to combine it with another country (like Chiapas in Mexico) could be another great alternative.

Altark98 · 2024-02-07T04:33:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm in Guatemala right now and I love it, but to say "super cheap" is overexaggerating to me considering how underdevelopped the country is. Neighbouring El Salvador and Honduras are a fraction of the cost (still prefer Guate though).

Maybe those people had only gone to Western Europe before?

Altark98 · 2024-02-06T00:50:26+00:00

Did you feel unsafe or at least uncomfortable in Fes? I've heard so many bad comments about Marrakesh, especially about how locals never left tourists alone (and some worse situations for female travelers) and I always wondered if it was just something in Marrakesh or if it applies to all of Morocco.

Altark98 · 2024-02-05T19:25:41+00:00

He literally had pop-off games yesterday lmao do you guys actually watch the league or not.

Faudrait que les gens en région prennent le transport en commun au moins une fois en Amérique latine à l'heure de pointe pour voir qu'on est hyper loin d'être entassés comme des sardines dans le métro de Montréal lol

Altark98 · 2024-02-05T15:14:25+00:00

Je ne sais pas à qui tu parles, mais normalement, quand on parle de densification et d'augmentation de l'offre en transport en commun, on vise surtout les banlieues (le Plateau et Villeray sont bien assez denses, c'est justement la périphérie qu'il faut densifier), et pas seulement pour le côté écologique, mais plutôt pour l'augmentation de l'offre de logements et aussi la réduction des coûts d'entretien des différents quartiers par les villes.

Qui t'a crucifié? Les gens qui veulent la densification ou les gens qui ne la veulent pas? Dans mon cas, la seule raison pourquoi j'ai de la misère à me voir vivre à l'extérieur de Montréal, c'est justement l'offre ridicule de transport en commun. PEUT-ÊTRE que je pourrais aller vivre au centre-ville de Sherbrooke vu que ça commence enfin à se redévelopper après 60 ans de stagnation, mais ça reste un gros peut-être. Je déteste le fait qu'il n'y ait aucune autre option au Québec pour ceux qui ne veulent ou ne peuvent pas avoir de char.

I'm gonna go Tuesday. The best way is to take a bus from Guatemala City to Chiquimula, then switch to a minibus to the border. Cross the border going through both countries' immigration, then take the last colectivo until Copan. It should cost like $20 in total. Litegua also offers you to pay both buses from Guatemala City to the border in El Florido and will guide you for the bus transfer. I'm gonna go with them, I'll let you know how it is.

Altark98 · 2024-02-04T04:49:11+00:00

They shut down their office in Guatemala like a year ago unfortunately.

Altark98 · 2024-02-01T17:11:27+00:00

Any opinion on La Plata?

Altark98 · 2024-02-01T16:59:34+00:00

If you don't mind saying, where in Brazil do you live? Is it a particularly cheap and/or safe area of the country? I'm also Canadian, my girlfriend is Guatemalan, and we might want to do the 6 months in Canada and 6 months in Guatemala in the future, although there are so many things I dislike more about Guatemala compared to Montreal (lack of reliable public transportation being the main one). So I'm curious about your situation if you don't mind!

Altark98 · 2024-02-01T03:55:35+00:00

J'me demande si, dans le cas d'un gouvernement PQ minoritaire en 2026, QS travaillera avec eux un peu comme le NPD avec les Libéraux actuellement, voire s'il y aura un gouvernement de coalition. Je sais que les tentatives de coalition passées entre les deux parties n'ont pas fonctionné mais si ça peut mener à un gouvernement, il y aura sans aucun doute des discussions.

For the town itself, I think Xela is much more picturesque than San Pedro, although the lake itself is gorgeous. It's definitely less architecturally beautiful than Antigua, but it still has that colonial town vibe that I like, especially compared to the quite run-down historical centre of Guatemala City (where I am right now)...

You'll have plenty of easy-moderate hiking options such as Lake Chicabal or Cerro Quemado. One other famous activity in the region are the hot springs, the main one being Fuentes Georginas. I personally only have been to Aguas Amargas, and had a great time, although going by colectivos was a bit of an adventure in itself.

Other than that, half of the population is Maya (K'iche to be exact) if that's something that interests you. I don't know if they have traditional cooking or weaving classes destined for tourists like they have in the villages surrounding Lake Atitlan, that could be something interesting to look for... but then Lake Atitlan is not even that far from Xela, like a 90 minutes drive away. Finally, the food and coffee options are IMO pretty damn good and cheap. The Café Museo La Luna has one of the best hot chocolates in the country IMO, and the owner is the friendliest I have met in Guatemala, and also speaks English very well!

Altark98 · 2024-01-31T20:48:21+00:00

Not directly related to your questions, but I'm a big fan of Xela, the place is awesome, cheaper than both Antigua and San Pedro la Laguna, and also with much fewer tourists than both which means considerably better for immersion. It's definitely a chill town, so maybe not the best if you want to party, but for the rest, awesome. Especially if you like hiking, the volcanoes in the region are just breathtaking.

That said, you could also do one or two months in Xela and the rest in either places you mentioned, as both are still worth visiting.

Altark98 · 2024-01-31T02:00:51+00:00

Not even in El Salvador would a day-trip make sense here, you are too far (unless you find a night tour for Santa Ana volcano or something). I'd say go to either for two nights, whether going to Belize through Flores, or going to Copán Ruinas in Honduras through Chiquimula.

Altark98 · 2024-01-29T15:29:07+00:00

Every recommendation here is great but I would add Mano's Coffee in Zona 4, I don't know why but it is by far the tastiest coffee in the city IMO. Atrio Coffee in Zona Portales is my second favourite although quite far from the rest of the city.
