Bilingual Careers

People who are bilingual have the opportunity to use this skill as a basis for their career. The most obvious area is as an interpreter or translator.

Interpretation and translation are different professions, although some people do both. Interpreters tend to work both into and from both languages (i.e., the ‘source’ and ‘target’ language), whereas translators usually only work in one direction, into their native language. Both professions require fluency in at least two languages – the native and the second language. The second language must be understood, written and spoken to near perfection.

Interpreters and translators may work in a variety of areas, including business, social services, or entertainment. Conference interpreters work at events that involve non-English-speaking delegates, such as international business, academic and political events. They may also work with any organization that hires foreign speakers.

Both kinds do more than translate words, as they have to convey ideas and concepts between speakers and readers of different languages. This means that they must thoroughly understand the subject matter they’re working with. They must also be sensitive to the cultures associated with the different languages they’re working with.

Other professions where bilingual skills can be used are: teaching and lecturing,writing / editing, software development and engineering, healthcare, the judiciary, the police and military forces. Guide or escort interpretersaccompanying visitors in foreign countries also use bilingual skills to ensure smooth communication.
