How is translating language different from interpreting?
| Interpreting | Translating |
|---|---|
| * In-the moment conversations * Different styles and approaches for interpreting * How to determine which approach is necessary * Active listening * Conflict resolution * Industry standards | * Written text * Different styles and approaches for document translation * Techniques to identify and handle situational and cultural context in a written document * Machine translation * Software and website localization * Industry standards |
What is language translation? And what is localization?
• Language translation
Converts written words exactly from one language to another
Where translating work is concerned with word choice & meaning, localization is concerned with linguistic & cultural expression. Translating language exactly as it was originally written, means your new text might not sound right in a second language.
• Language localization
Process of adapting full content including the intended meaning for a new audience
Translation localization captures the essential of meaning from the source language and brings it into the second language. It's a skill that requires an extensive vocabulary in order to ensure no meaning is lost.
What industries need language translation localization?
• Law: Legal translators are frequently working with contracts, court transcriptions and other legally binding documents in court hearings and trials. Legal interpreters must be familiar with legal terminology and concepts learned in legal interpreting training.
• Medicine: Healthcare translating typically involves medical records, surgical instructions, appointment synopsis and more. Medical translating is a great follow-up after learning the essential medical terminology in our medical interpreting school.
• Education: Language translation for schools provides the critical support for ESL students, their families and educators. Translating language for schools often involves worksheets, permission slips, textbooks, tests and so much more.
• ALL industries: If you can think of it, there is work for you! A lot of language translators find work as on-site translators for a specific company. However, freelance translators can often find interesting work transcribing movies!
How does our language translating course help advance your career?
1. Improve & grow your skills
When you continue your education in any field, you become more experienced. Growing professionally as a language translator takes time, experience and dedication. Nobody is perfect, but the more you apply yourself to your craft the better you become at what you do.
2. You can earn more money
More experience and more training means you become more experienced. According to 2024 reporting from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for language interpreters and translators was $59,440/year. The lowest 10% earned approximately $35,600/year (not bad for a part-time position!) and the highest 10% earned upwards of $90,000/year. The national average for new, and entry-level interpreter roles start somewhere between $30,000 - $50,000/year.
3. Earn more trust
Becoming an expert at translating languages doesn't happen overnight. The language translating industry has changed a lot over the years, and you must be willing to evolve and adapt over time.
