How Can I become Document Translator?
I myself work for document Translation Company and understand fine aspects of the services. There would be numerous companies and professionals but as per my experience quality is still lacking. We get numerous enquiries regarding translation jobs but scanning honestly more than 80 percent of candidates are actually not eligible. Even if you are native to any language, you still need to train yourself to become professional translator.
Some key points, which one must follow, are as below:
- Certification is important: though there is no exact authorized agency in the world of translation but there are many institutions, which offer courses, which can be followed to grab the best of translations. In today’s world when certification is sky rocketing, being certified is must for career.
- Take language proficiency test: this is also one of the ways to prove yourself in any language. There are many platforms where you can take test and prove yourself. DLPT and Alta are popular in UK.
- Experience is important: it should be noted that experience is also one of the factors, which is key of success in this field. No matter, how perfect you are in any language, experience still matters. Many things can be learnt only through the experience.
- Marketing is important: no matter how you good you are in the translation, there will be always need of marketing. Eventually things highly depend on the way you market yourself. There would be many offices like police station, hospitals, law firms and other agencies, which would be in the requirement. Contact them directly or you can put yourself on the digital path of marketing. Get a website and do SEO so that it can be ranked on Google and other search engines.
- Keep learning: once you stop learning, the translator inside you dies because professionals should keep themselves updating as per trend else result would be devastating. Learn from professionals, who are working since long in the industry because they know various fine aspects, which you would not be aware of.
