Translation in Practice
By Nanjing University
Language Translator
About
As a translator, you will convert the written text from one language into the target language by writing, analyzing, and editing. With experience, learning, and specialization, skilled translators always find their services in high demand, and they earn pretty well. Due to language complexity, machine translation can and will never replace human translators. There are words with dual meanings in different languages. What works in one tongue does not necessarily work in another which deems human translators necessary.
