Question: What technical skills are needed for translators?

Answer: The type of technical skills needed to be a translator depends on the area of specialization that you choose. For example, if you are a literary translator or medical translator you will need technical language abilities within those areas. On the other hand if you work within general translation you will need the technical abilities of tracking client projects, submitting client invoices, and developing translated deliverables to clients. In short, the level of technical skills needed will largely depend on the type of clients and translation projects you take on as a professional translator.
