I’ve recently changed careers after working as a developer for an IT consultant firm for seven years.
I suggest that you learn a CMS well and offer website building to small businesses. There is a huge gap in this field: individuals use FB etc. big companies spend thousands on huge projects. The demand for small project implementation is high, the requires skills are modest, the most vital skill is good communication with the client.

Then you could even create your own website or websites and earn from them. This is better than translation, because this allows you to earn while you are asleep.

The translation market is toxic and will always be, due to greed, AI illusions, and gig economy tricks, please avoid this dreary path.
