What does a Translator do?

As Translators, we read through or listens to material in one language, understand the meaning and context of that material and convert it into a second language while making sure to preserve the original meaning. We translate online content or videos by providing subtitles and ensuring that the subtitles match the audio. We also contact native foreigners to understand specialized concepts and translate them appropriately while providing our clients with quotes based on the project’s length and third-party fees.

Core tasks:

  • follow up with our clients to ensure their satisfaction
  • use highly specialized translation and proofreading software
  • translate a variety of documents including scientific, legal, educational, and commercial materials
