How to get freelance translation work here?

[Kimi]

I can translate from some Asian languages to English or vice versa, should I register myself as a freelance translator here in France by any chance?

My friend who holds dual french/british nationality through having been born here but with english mother set up as a freelance translater with piles of professional work but had to shut the business because the charges left her worse off - seek advice or you could end up the same way.
