Translation BA

Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

At this level you do consecutive interpreting at meetings, escort and liaison assignments, sight translation of documents aloud, and written translation that a senior revises. Most of the day is preparation: building glossaries, researching subject terminology, checking IATE for European Union texts and UNTERM for United Nations texts, and delivering through SDL Trados Studio and memoQ plus standard office software.

The part you imagine, speaking between 2 languages in a meeting, is a minority of paid hours. The majority is preparation, written translation, terminology research, revision cycles, invoicing, and chasing assignments. Booth consoles, infrared distribution systems, and remote simultaneous platforms such as Interprefy belong to later conference work, not this grade. Freelance juniors work irregular hours with evening and weekend event bookings and tight written deadlines, while staff agency posts follow normal office hours with overtime at peaks. Night work is rare outside multiday conferences, and on-call availability is common for community and liaison bookings.
