Becoming a Translator in New Brunswick

Do you have the qualities you need to become a translator?

A translator is a person who is intelligent, has a keen intellectual curiosity, and is open-minded and interested in what's going on in the world. High-level language skills in both official languages are developed over the course of the translation program, while future translators have probably had certain other qualities all their lives.

• Do you like to analyze words and expressions? Do you try to grasp all the nuances and subtleties of a language?
• When you want to understand something, do you keep reading up on a subject and looking up information until you have a thorough knowledge of the topic?
• Do you enjoy conversations and discussions?
• Do you make decisions and choices carefully? Do you have a good eye for detail?
• Do you like to find patterns, set up systems, and put things in order?

If you answered yes to these questions, you most likely have the qualities you need to become a translator and to enjoy working in translation.
