HI Vy, if you're looking for undergraduate universities that focus on interpretation, Kent State and University of Arizona are very well-known. For language study, Middlebury College in Vermont is also highly regarded. Graduate schools in the United States that focus on interpretation include Kent State and Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (the graduate program continued from Middlebury College). I would recommend looking into those schools as well as joining some online language-related meetups in. your area.

Hello,


Here are some good guidelines:


Step 1: Get Certified


The first thing I tell people who want to know how to become a translator is to get some sort of accreditation or certification. Having credentials provides documentation that you have the skills required to translate or interpret professionally. Many universities offer advanced degrees and professional certifications in translation, and we have a separate post dedicated to the subject: Top 10 U.S. Translation Schools. Want to be a translator? The American Translator’s Association offers certification programs for translators.


Step 2: Get Tested


Another resume builder is to take language proficiency tests such as the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) or other language proficiency tests to show potential clients that you are indeed fluent in your specific language.


Step 3: Gain Experience


The next step is to gain experience. All of us have had to start out doing internships or working entry-level jobs in order to climb the ladder, and the language industry is no exception. If you’re enrolled at or live near a college, take classes in translation / interpreting and look for opportunities to perform translation or interpreting work on campus for various departments. It is crucial to get experience where you can show samples of your work to potential clients and get recommendations.


Step 4: Market Yourself


After getting credentials and some experience, it’s time to market yourself to law firms, police stations, hospitals, government agencies, and language agencies that may need translators or interpreters in your area. Most translators / interpreters work for clients on a contract basis, not as full time employees. A great way to market your services is to start a website or blog and join the active community of online language professionals.
