이 직무의 면접 팁
- Always include a translation test relevant to the work they will be doing. This is the single best predictor of quality.
- Ask candidates to explain specific translation choices in their test. Strong translators can articulate why they made particular decisions.
- Probe their specialist knowledge. A medical translator should be comfortable discussing anatomy just as a legal translator should understand contract terminology.
- Check their professional memberships such as ITI or CIOL. These indicate a commitment to professional standards.
자주 묻는 질문
How do I assess translation quality during hiring?
Set a paid translation test of 500 to 1,000 words in the subject matter they will be working with. Have the test reviewed by another qualified translator or a bilingual subject-matter expert. Assess accuracy, fluency in the target language, consistency and adherence to any provided style guides or glossaries.
Should translators always translate into their native language?
Best practice is for translators to work into their native or dominant language, as this produces the most natural and fluent results. However, some translators work comfortably in both directions, particularly in less common language pairs. A translation test in the required direction is the most reliable way to assess capability.
What is the difference between translation and transcreation?
Translation converts text from one language to another while preserving the original meaning as closely as possible. Transcreation involves creatively adapting content, particularly marketing and branding material, to resonate with the target culture. Transcreation may change metaphors, humour and cultural references significantly while maintaining the intended impact and emotion.
