Certified Translation Professional
It seems that many people who apply for jobs with translation
companies get turned down because they are not qualified to be either a
translator or an interpreter. Considering oneself as bi-lingual is a good skill
and fluency in a second language means the ability to speak, comprehend, write
and read in that language at an equal level to a native educated speaker.
However, being fluent is only the 1st step in reaching the goal as a professional
interpreter or certified translation
professional. Like all professions, training, practice and experience is
required which means there is no single pathway to success.

If you are eager to become a sought after certified translation

Get Certified
The first step to take is to achieve some sort of certification or
accreditation. Having these credentials provides the documents that prove you
have the necessary skills to translate professionally. There are many
universities which offer both advanced degrees as well as professional
certificate courses in translation. The highly respected American Translator’s
Association provides certification courses for translators.
If your interest lies in the legal or medical translation fields
organizations like the International Medical Interpreters Association and the
National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators offer
certificate standard courses as well. Some U.S. states offer accreditation
courses for both translators and interpreters.

Getting a certificate in this way can be of a great help to you as
their website directories will include you on their listings. This is the place
where likely clients seek the services of translators. You may find you don’t gain a lot from
getting a certificate as you consider yourself fluent in a second language, but
if this is the career you want getting certified puts you ahead of others.
Pass a translator test
Another great way to market yourself as a certified translation professional is to sit a language proficiency
test like the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT). This shows off your
fluency and is attractive to clients.

Get Experience
The next stage is to get experience. Most careerists often begin
in an entry-level job as they start their way up the ladder. If you live close
to a college, take some classes in translation and be on the lookout for
chances to undertake translation work on the campus for different departments.
This is a good way to get a portfolio of examples of successful translation
work that you can showcase to potential clients.

Marketing yourself
After getting your certified translation professional
certification and some translation experience, you can start to market your
skills to hospitals, law firms, language agencies, government agencies, police
stations and hospitals. Most translators end up working for clients based on a
contractual relationship and not as a full time employee. A good way to start to
market your translation services is to set up a blog or website and join in the
online community of language professionals. You should have all your
credentials as a certified translation
professional ready to send to interested clients and make sure you make
clear what your rates are.
