How much does it cost to be an English translator and translator now? Are there any language requirements to be a translator?

Translation companies do not require spoken language, but corporate translation positions generally require spoken language, and there are relatively few such positions.

Translators are selected based on level, ability, school they graduated from, and academic qualifications , the responsibilities are different, I have seen monthly salary of more than 30K (financial field), there are also many 3K-6K (lower-end translators, CATTI 2 may be able to meet their work needs)

(1K = 1000). Some high-end translation positions in well-known multinational companies require English as the communication language. There are certain requirements for oral English. At least they must be able to communicate smoothly and work conveniently!

Relatively good full-time translation positions generally require a master's degree in translation or foreign language, more than 3 million words of translation experience, familiarity with background knowledge and belonging in specific fields such as finance, automobiles, etc., and proficiency in using mainstream methods such as Trados, memoQ, WordFast, etc. Translation software/terminology management software, able to withstand greater work pressure, and holds the CATTI 2 translation qualification certificate from the Ministry of Personnel.

If you want to develop well in the translation industry, it is recommended that you be proficient in more than two foreign languages ??and proficient in about 2 fields (literature, chemical industry, finance, IT, automobiles, petrochemicals, geology, clinical, medicine, etc. All are acceptable), have good oral skills, preferably with a Shangang certificate
