Quais habilidades de tradução você deve destacar em uma entrevista de emprego?

In my experience the differences in dialect can have so many ramifications. It can have high risk exposure if your proficiency, and grammar are not accurate.

You should highlight the following skills to demonstrate your proficiency and suitability for the role: • Portfolio and Work Examples • Language Proficiency • Translation Techniques: • Specialization • Use of CAT Tools • Quality Assurance • Time Management: • Adaptability • Working within a Team • Flexibility • Communication Skills • Problem-Solving • Continuous Learning

The number one translation skill for me is reading. How fast, how big and how deep can you read? For how long uninterruptedly? Have you ever dream-read?

Cultural awareness is what makes a translator more valuable than Google. When you study the language, live in the country and spend time with the natives you learn a lot about the culture, history, way of life and habits and why people react differently according to their background.

The ability to appreciate the culture of both languages is vital. Otherwise all sort of problems can be created by the translator himself/herself.

I've found that understanding the culture and listening to natives speak is the best way to learn the important differences in translation.

When it comes to understanding the cultural aspects of my translations, I put respect before everything. I seek advice from reliable sources, such as articles, experts, and current events to ensure accuracy. Additionally, I stay open to feedback and suggestions from native speakers of the target language to ensure cultural nuances are captured effectively. As for sensitive or controversial issues, I approach them with great care and sensitivity. I strive to maintain cultural sensitivity and respect while translating such content. If there are any concerns or uncertainties, I'm not afraid to ask questions or consult with clients to ensure that the translation aligns with their expectations and requirements in a respectful manner.

One thing I have found helpful are the new AI tools coming out from various companies. There are real-time translator engines as well as image translators now that help dramatically with translations and interpretations.

Having good knowledge about source and target languages, capacity to work with CAT and AI tools and being adapted to cutting edge technologies will make translators and newcomers so special that they can work collaboratively with a team on the basis of mutual learning and understanding. File converters, OCR applications and some skills related to work on the websites help them go ahead and align with new trends all around the world. That's why we are required to be adapted to daily learning and research based on the fields that we are performing.

Communicating in any language requires humanity and compassion to some level. Understanding someone isn’t just about the spoken language it’s also about tapping into how they communicate on a personal level.

During the interview, translators should highlight their background on translation of various projects associated with dissimilar fields and their portfolio, which shows how many years' experience they have and how many projects they had been involved in before. Additionally, they should inform the company about which CAT, MT and QA tools they use during the process of translation. These tools vary from country to country, because some languages are not fully integrated into MT tools (such as Azerbaijani) due to their global capacity and position in local or foreign markets.

Besides specific skills, highlighting who you are can be very beneficial. What characteristics make me a good match for the position? Some of the most looked for are: responsible, professional, trustworthy, honest and creative.
