Is there a future for Portuguese translation in Angola?

First of all, you should know your motivation to go to Angola.

1. If it's just to earn money, I think the salary of being a translator in Angola is higher than that in other Portuguese-speaking countries. At present, the security situation in Angola is not good, and the police are just like bandits and hooligans, that is, robbing. The police also intentionally or unintentionally extort money and hate it. Immigration always checks your papers, damn it. Because of this, many Portuguese translators have gone home, and because of this, the salaries of translators are relatively high. However, it should be noted that the consumption in Luanda, the capital of Angola, is almost the highest in the world. Almost none of them are produced by themselves, and most of them are imported. After working there for three years, I feel that I have gained a lot, lost a lot, and gained and lost. Before going out, you have to sign a contract, stay and other matters, so I don't need to elaborate here.

2. If it is for health reasons, it is recommended not to go, or not to stay too long. Luanda is said to be one of the dirtiest cities in the world, and I feel the same way: there are no public toilets, sewage is flowing, flies are flying everywhere, and piles of garbage are used for burning. . . If you are in the suburbs or outside the city, there is no need to worry about the above problems. But mosquitoes are a disaster at night, and many people get malaria. . . There are no four seasons in a year, only rainy season and dry season, with summer during the day and autumn at night. It can be said that living in Angola for one year, in a sense, is equivalent to growing up for two years.

If you are a newly graduated Portuguese-speaking student, it is ok to study while working in Angola, but don't sign for too long. Sign for a year first, and then continue when you get used to it.

I am also a translator. Many Angolan friends don't vent because they hate Angola. Although the description is not comprehensive enough, it is basically a fact.

Have a nice day at work.
