Translator

A translator turns written text from one language into another while keeping its meaning, tone, and purpose. You might translate contracts, medical documents, websites, software, books, subtitles, or marketing materials. Your day involves reading carefully, researching terminology, using translation software and glossaries, writing and revising, and checking your work against the original. You often work for agencies or directly for clients, usually on a deadline, and you may specialize in a field such as law, health care, or technology so you can handle the vocabulary with confidence.
