Hello, can you describe how translation works?

Translation is the use of computer, OFFICE and other document formats or the use of computer-aided translation (CAT) tools to complete the translation of specific document content. Business translation requires 3000-4000 words/word of the original text every day, which may involve law, medicine, machinery, chemical industry, politics, advertising, finance, introduction, sports, media reports, website localization/internationalization, engineering, IT, etc.

Job requirements:

Master of translation/English +CATTI 2 translation certificate, or equivalent; A slightly higher requirement requires 5-8 years of work experience, or more than 5 million words of translation experience. Must be familiar with translation tools such as Trados, and be familiar with the background knowledge and terminology of specific industries.

Work treatment:

Mainly depends on the quality, level and speed of personal translation, more work and more gain; The unit price of a good translation company for advanced translation is generally 150-200 yuan/original thousand words, which means the corresponding monthly income is about 12000- 16000 yuan; The unit price of primary translation (just after CATTI 3, or the corresponding level) is mostly around 50-70 yuan/thousand words, usually 4000-6000 yuan. Of course, this is only a reference range, and the actual unit price still depends on the translation level. At the same level, different translation companies or employers pay different salaries.
