I only have two very sporadic Portuguese clients. Most of my clients are European, the remaining are all over the world…

I have one private client in Italy who I've done a few jobs for. The rest are in Spain, where I'm based.

About 50%, which still makes for a pretty international mix, also in terms of doing the associated accounting, with customers more recently coming from, for example, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, France, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Romania, the U.S., Hong Kong, Thailand.
Previous orders came from Singapore, Australia, Malta, Croatia, Sweden, Hungary, Turkey, Italy and Canada.

5 out of 32 in 2021 - 16%
1 out of 40 in 2020 - 2%
4 out of 46 in 2019 - 9%
6 out of 47 in 2018 - 13%

I work with one university in Peru, but the bureaucracy involved in getting paid is making me think of giving them up. All my other clients (all university-based) are in Spain, where I live.

All my current clients are in France. I did have one Belgian client and one in Spain, but I've not heard from either of them since Covid, so I think they no longer count as clients. Suits me fine.

*laughs in Australian* It would be impossible to make a living in Australia as a Rus>Eng translator if I didn't have overseas clients. Bless their cotton socks!

| All in Spain, where I am based | Aug 19, 2023 |
At this moment, all my clients are in Spain, but I am looking forward to starting a collaboration with a client in the UK very soon.

Almost all my clients are international organizations based in the US, but their documents come from all over the world.

| | | | | About half of my clients, but 75% of my turnover | Aug 21, 2023 |
My biggest clients are abroad, which is reflected in the 4-digit invoices I've sent to several of them in this year, while most Dutch agency clients send me only smaller projects and probably prefer to outsource bigger ones to cheaper translators. Almost half of my Dutch turnover is based on one direct client.
