Starting a translation career can be fun but it is also
challenging, I have personally been both a freelance and in-house corporate
translator in the past and here are some tips on becoming a successful
translator.
1. Having the ability to write well is very important.
2. You have to know a second language just as well as you
know your first so that you can converse with those who so speak the language
natively.
3. A degree is not necessary, but holding a university
degree or qualification in translation such as a certificate in translation can
be very important when looking for jobs or working as a freelance translator.
4. Be confident in your target language and within the
specific industries you serve clients in such as finance and banking or sports
marketing.
5. Be familiar with the subject matter of what is to be
translated before accepting assignments or full time positions.
6. Practicing your second or third languages daily or
participating in exchange program
