If you are interested in being a translator, this article might be for you. You will learn about what a translator do, what their salary is, where they work and more.
Being a translator is nice because you can work alone and travel.
There are two types of translators. The first type are textual translators, they translate books and documents and the second type are interpreters, they translate what someone says on the spot.
Textual translators are sent documents or books to translate and they usually work alone or in little groups. Interpreters travel a lot and they usually work alone.
Textual translators usually work from home or in an office. Interpreters travel a lot so they work everywhere.
To become a translator you need a degree in languages.
Translators make about 50 000$ a year.
Translators need to know the culture of the languages they are speaking and the slang of the languages.
They are no dangers for the textual translators, but interpreters may be a little bit more at risk since they travel a lot.
I think that it could be a possibility if the technology is advance enough to make zero mistakes.
They can retire whenever they want, but in Canada people usually retire at around 60 years old.
I will start the languages program at Ahuntsic college next fall so I will be able to be a translator in 2 years and a half.
