Becoming a Certified Translator
Posted in: Translator Resources | Comments (0)
Becoming a certified translator is not an easy task. There are many common mistakes that translation professionals make while trying to complete the process of becoming certified. Here are the top two mistakes that we see most often.
1) The translator does not take the certification process seriously: Many translators have experience in the industry but have never really studied industry best practices, ethics, or common work practices and tools used in the industry. The Certified Translation Professional (CTP) program requires reading materials, video modules, and expert audio interviews which cover these areas and test for that knowledge through the online examination required before you can become a certified translator.
2) The translator believes that certification is only for the very experienced or absolute novice: The reality is that professionals of all ages and levels of experience may benefit from completing a translator certification program. This is because many well experience translators know their craft so well they have had little need to study industry best practices lately and they may be starting to fall behind on the most recent tools and developments in the industry. At the same time younger less experienced translators need a base foundation of industry knowledge and can use this qualification to help them get new clients or to attract industry employers.
I hope by sharing these mistakes we can help you avoid them. To learn more about the Certified Translation Professional (CTP) program please see http://TranslationCertification.org
