The profession of an interpreter is in high demand.

Foreign and Russian companies often resort to the services of a translation specialist to establish international relations.

Common languages ​​(English, German) are the most needed for work, however, there are other, less developed countries with their own dialects, with which it is more difficult to maintain contact, due to the insufficient number of translators with knowledge of these dialects.

What does a translator do

A specialist in foreign linguistics is engaged in extensive work. Orders usually come for oral simultaneous and consecutive translations, written translations of a narrow profile ( engineering works), translations of fiction publications, and other texts.

Oral translation is the most difficult, as you need to understand speech and immediately translate into the required language. To facilitate the work of translators, in many cases they are given in advance the necessary text that needs to be translated publicly. Thus, the specialist gets time to prepare for work.

Consecutive text translation is easier than the above, as it is necessary to work with sentences and paragraphs of speech or text. The negative feature of this linguistic work is its long duration. For example, if the service of an interpreter was required at the conclusion of an international transaction, the meeting of the parties will take a longer time period than simultaneous translation.

Written translations are of higher quality work. Orders come from firms for a particular industry of goods and services. Therefore, the translator must not only speak the language, but also understand the details of this area.

Author's translations require creativity, because works of art should be read easily and naturally. Fairy tales, short stories, books are types of translations that take a lot of time. In order to meet the deadline, it is better to take on the work of the authors, having previously read them.

The translator is obliged to perform the work in a quality manner within the stipulated time. In addition, you need to translate close to text Therefore, deep knowledge of the language and continuous improvement of speech is an integral part of the life of a linguistic specialist.

Translation of personal and business correspondence is especially common in our time. Such work is entrusted to trusted translators, and in some cases an act of non-disclosure of personal information is drawn up. Payment for this type of work varies from the minimum to the maximum. When concluding a deal, the translation of business negotiations can be a decisive factor, so the work is treated very carefully and responsibly.

Another interesting way to work is translation of drawings. The linguist is provided with a drawing system, the designations of which should be translated into Russian or another language. The work is narrow-profile, so knowledge of a technical foreign language is not enough, it is also required to have technical knowledge of the subject of translation.

Specific job responsibilities of an interpreter in commercial company or in state structures depend on the direction of the employer. As a rule, the translator's job description specifies what type of translation he will be engaged in.

The employer has the right to set his own requirements for the translator, depending on the profile of the company and nature of transfers. For example, a medical text may be required, or a legal text.

To do this, the employer has the right to invite an interpreter for an interview and, in the presence of a competent specialist, conduct a survey on a particular topic. At the end of testing, a decision is made to conclude an employment contract, or to refuse a candidate for a position.

However, there are common standards requirements:

• profile higher education(bachelor's degree, specialist's degree, master's degree);
• possession of specific terminology;
• familiarization with the code of ethics and behavioral standards;
• neat appearance is always welcome as international meetings have high level and status;
• confident use of a personal computer.

An interpreter can be hired both under an open-ended labor contract and for a certain period of time ( fixed-term contract) to conduct several international transactions.

International organizations do not always meet in the territory Russian Federation. Therefore, a specialist should be able to leave the country without administrative and criminal sanctions. In addition, there should always be access to obtaining a visa and other documents required for a flight to another state.

The salary of a translation specialist depends on their own capabilities. In the event of an employment contract or contract with government agency or employment public service the translator will be able to have only income from the budget of the Russian Federation, in the amount of approximately 40 thousand rubles.

When you are in a state or municipal service it is forbidden to have other incomes and engage in other activities, except for creative and educational activities.

If the specialist works with legal entities, he has the right to conclude several employment contracts on the different conditions, as well as work on narrow-profile single transactions.

Such income can be unstable However, its size is several times higher than the budgetary salary of civil servants.

In addition, monetary incentives depend on the knowledge and rating of the translator. A highly qualified specialist can be in demand at many sites. In this case, the translator can set the amount of remuneration himself. If the applicant has knowledge not just one language, his work can cost even more.

Rare languages ​​are always valued and paid with premiums. For example, Chinese is a very difficult language, the translation of which costs good money. Other languages ​​outside the Anglo-Saxon system are not as popular. But orders for translations from these languages ​​are paid higher. Therefore, a translator can not only specialize in one language, but also acquire skills and abilities in another area in order to get more profit from work.
