Considering the first 6 months, it's slightly (about 1k) up compared to last year. No complaints so far.

Stable so far, maybe slightly higher. Good luck to everyone.

I have only translated about 500 words this month so far, for instance, and I can see August being the same. My clients simply don't have work in my combinations at the moment. I am exploring other options to earn a living.

Although it might actually be up, but I don't really check on these things. I've had a very busy six months in 2026, and July is busy enough to stop me getting bored.

I imagine that some clients realized finally AI is not what is boosted by token vendors. 😂

My income at this point in the year is about the same as last year, but my income last year was down a good 45% over the year before, so staying level still isn't good.

This year has been one of my best so far, but the work has changed from long jobs with a reasonable deadline to anything between 700 and 4000 words needed back on the same day. I don't like working like this, but I'll do it until... until what I am asking myself. I have almost accepted that I'll have to make another career change for the next 20-30 years of working life, but to what, I do not know...

My income is still the same, but I have honestly worked much less. So, I cannot complain so far!
