    Those working for private companies may be asked to transcribe emails, relevant documents and presentations as well as help with translation services for foreign guests or trips abroad.

    Some companies do offer translators training and development of their own, but as most translators tend to work on a freelance basis, it is usually carried out in your own time.

    You will need to have proficiency in areas such as Microsoft Office as well.
    Some translators have been known to work from home. While in-house roles are normally office-based, it will feature the same level of contact with clients.

    Most employees in this field are self-employed, and find it helpful to visit relevant countries in your repertoire every so often to keep your language skills relevant.

    Generally, translators tend to work freelance and tend to have a rate that is dictated by them.
    Translator pay in the UK varies, according to whether it is agency work or freelance work. Translators working with highly specialised texts, into or from unusual languages, will demand a higher rate than general translation.

    A degree is generally preferred and is a better way of increasing your earning potential - some companies also require any translators they hire or outsource work to have one.

    Generally however, the most important thing you need to become a translator is to be able to speak two or more languages.

    Whatever qualification you decide to go for is going to help in the long run. English Language
    English Literature
    Modern foreign languages

    Students don't necessarily need to have studied at a postgraduate level, however, they can be useful in the job market.

    The translation skills you have can be further honed through training and experience. Training and development
    Training and development will usually be yours to organise.

    Some companies do offer translators training and development of their own, but as most translators tend to work on a freelance basis, it is usually carried out in your own time.

    This means becoming a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), who run various development programmes for people looking to hone their skills.

    Your training is also in your hands too. This means that you will need to keep your writing skills sharp.

    Many translators will often work as a copywriter or will take technical writing courses as a means of ensuring that their writing skills do not go to waste.

    Software and programme training is essential as well.

    You can take online translator courses for any of the software that you will be asked to use for translation services.

    Fluency in two or more languages.
    Good knowledge of translation services and software.
    Proficiency with computer packages.

    It is possible to find internships or work experience placements through translation agencies.

    These are a way of testing yourself in the world of translation and seeing if you enjoy the job and is also a good way of forging industry contacts.

    A lot of translators have previous work experience in other areas too.

    It is not uncommon to find work as a copywriter before you begin work as a translator, as this gives you more experience with writing, syntax and grammar.

    Another good experience to have is to have lived in the countries whose language you speak.

    For instance, if you speak fluent English and German, then living in both England and Germany will prove very useful for you.

    It's not essential and no translation service or company will ever demand it of their translators, but it is still a useful bit of translator experience to have, as it will give you an insight into the different cultures.

    Your career development will be very varied. Translation careers can take you in many different directions. You will need to network at industry events in order to build new contacts. Many translators go into the computer science realm of translation.

    As AI technology begins to evolve, translators are being relied upon more and more to help improve translation softwares and to help with machine translation.

    This does not require you to have coding or computer science experience prior.
    Many translators decide to set-up their own independent agencies for translation or work on a freelance basis.

    Freelance can be done at any time, however, setting up a company is generally best to start when you have a few years of industry experience.

    The ability to speak fluently in two languages means that you may be able to teach a modern foreign language to students or to potentially offer translation services for foreign students.

    An Accounting Degree gives you an insight into the way the financial sector works.
