Please, note the following, concerning skills for translation/interpretation:-
1. Satisfactory knowledge in the SOURCE language and the TARGET language. For example, translating from English (SOURCE language), to French (TARGET language).
2. It is very worthwhile, especially if the TARGET language is your native language. There is more understanding in your local language.
3. Good writing skills.
4. Good speaking and listening skills, especially for INTERPRETATION.
Best regards.
