Translators: Is there any education or certification required beyond proof that I know the language?

March 21, 2010 - 9:22 pm 2 Comments

I want to become a translator for various languages, and am working on learning them while I am on a two year break from school. I am going to look up schools to attend later on, but I wonder if there are specific programs that I should get into in order to be a translator. I am also thinking of teaching languages as well in ESL programs, but that will come later and it isn’t my primary goal.

Thanks!

The TEFL test & certification is normally used as a sign of competency for teaching other languages… especially in formal university and big business environments.
