I’m not sure as I don’t keep track. I’d say that several turn up every day or so in my inbox, particularly during public holidays held in certain European countries but not in Portugal. Due to the health crisis and the economic crisis that will follow inevitably what has increased is the number of CVs sent by other translators looking for jobs from all over the world, even if I don’t outsource often and I only work from and into European Portuguese…

Well, they're still coming Apr 8, 2020

I'm still getting a regular trickle of direct personal enquiries from potiential clients (agencies and private clients too) in Italy and other countries.

It's allways about the same Apr 8, 2020

No changes so far, business as usual. Perhaps that's because I translate slots. People are out of money during lockdown, and they try to get some by playing slots. I don't think it's wise, however...
