Nowadays, being able to speak many languages are one of the best assets for your daily life, whether for an interview, or for impressing friends. If you have or want to learn this extraordinary ability, the translator career is for you. In translation, there're two types of translators; interpreters for communication, and textual translator for documentation.
It depends on your own goals since there are two ways of translating. The first one is the textual translation which has for purpose to translate perfectly a written document or files, and requires minimum knowledge in the grammar structure of a foreign language. The second is without a doubt a voice line translator or interpreter. It's the most interesting of both since you only have to translate communicably, and have the chance to meet people from other cultures.
The interpreters may work as court translators in the legal system or as abroad journalist or even news reporters. They essentially translate texts or conversations from another language into theirs and have to listen carefully because of the mistakes in translating process. Textual translators make a good income from the documents they translate since they're paid by the word.
Interpreters may be called at any hours of a day when they're urgently needed and textual translators have plenty of times to work on their project.
Textual translators have often their own office in the company they are working for and interpreters work generally behind cameras which indicates they're whether at home or in their agency.
You should master the English language since it is the most spoken in the world and offers you greats opportunities. Then, you can follow a language degree and apply in the work market.
As said earlier, textual translators are paid by word and interpreters have different salaries dependently on the filed they working for.
They spent more than thirty hours of training courses when it comes of court translation before beginning their job.
There is no really dangers of being a translator since you'll have a full training to make sure to do your job correctly. The only "obstacle" in the field of translation is mistakes we make such as spelling or grammar errors.
We can't tell how the future will change, but the need of translation has existed long ago until today. Also, there're some divergences between cultures and languages that robots can't identify, and make a conversation more difficult to be understood and less human. So, the chances that translators might be replaced by robots slim to none.
Dependently on the contracts they signed, translators can retire before the end of their career.
In conclusion, being a translator is a pretty fun job to do with a good salary, but the studies are the hardest times to pass on this path.
