UN staff interpreter

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?

Your day is almost entirely at a screen: written translation of UN documents into your target language, usually your mother tongue — resolutions and decisions of principal organs, session reports, meeting records, draft texts under negotiation, and meeting-related correspondence. Most of the day is translation and revision; a smaller share is terminology research, reference checking and consultation. Around the core there is revision of colleagues' translations, self-revision, term checks in the UNTERM terminology portal, checks against earlier UN documents, and questions to drafters about unclear source passages. The named tools are the UNTERM terminology portal and the internal computer-assisted translation environment.

Hours follow the duty station's office pattern, with deadline-driven overtime in peak session periods, including night and weekend work around major conferences. There is no standing night-shift roster; overtime follows the meeting calendar, not a rota.
