Translators convert written information from one language into another. These multilingual professionals transcribe documents and texts from a source language into a target language, ensuring the translation maintains the original meaning. If you speak more than one language, have excellent communication skills and enjoy writing, working as a translator may be the career for you. All sorts of businesses and organisations employ translators, from multinational companies with headquarters in different cities to local doctors’ surgeries, law firms, television studios and publishing companies. Translators work in many fields and their duties vary depending on the type of work they’re translating.
