As freelancers, we constantly receive requirements for other pairs of languages or subjects outside our personal scope and abilities. So we began searching for those profiles and professionals as some clients required. Moreover, we contacted and connected such found translators directly to the clients we could not immediately serve or even whenever high volumes with tight deadlines arrived at our doorstep. It finally hit us: being a freelancer does not mean having to work in isolation, nor should it suppose more work just because it is individually oriented.

On the contrary, as in our personal lives, creating a support system is also vital for our professional lives; having a team to work with which helps us exploit our best attributes is crucial for success. Linguistic services’ sites and platforms charge a fee ―or some subscription― just to let you showcase your profile, rates, or even availability. Babel Free Union is an integrated showcasing machinery for linguists’ service providers and customers. 

The founder of Babel Free Union, Valentina Macías Isaza, created this site to present her services, capabilities, works, and trajectory,  and other collaborators’ profiles to offer the public the many linguistic and translation services and collaborations.
