You've got the goal and dedication. So I can only wish you a bit of luck. You'll certainly get where you aim at. And Chinese is already big and going to be even bigger in the near future.

One of my goals with learning Chinese is to be able to do audiovisual translations precisely for that reason.  Other languages eventually as well.  Subtitles are SO BAD sometimes, and even with my intermediate level of Chinese at the moment, could often do better than a lot of them, which is sad.  My first career, before pivoting to something else and then something else again was freelance audio transcription, so I just have to get better at the translation part of it.

Nice!! Before I decided to go fulltime into programming, I did this a bit. It can be more stressful that it sounds lol. But it's cool actually

Oh, glad to meet a colleague here! Yep, when they change the story, it's just pure rage. But it also happens more often than you'd expect, especially in dubbing. They sacrifice the plot, the logic, and whatnot for the sake of a proper lip-sync.

As a fellow freelance translator, I understand your pain.
What really annoyed me when translations changed the story.
That would infuriate me.

It requires great skill to capture the essence of the content and convey it accurately in another language.
