I'm going to be a Japanese translator soon, but wanted to expand to include German and Russian. Any input on where I can find glossaries of technical fields (medicine, physics, economics, etc.)? Anyone know how to best prepare for technical translation? I have all of the books for Japanese covered - clueless about how to find materials for the other languages.

Translation is a difficult enough task as it is that I would strongly urge you to perfect
your abilities in the pair you are aiming to be a professional in before you seek to add other languages. If you are anything like the competent translators I've met in my career, you will likely need years of experience and supervision before you can achieve a professional level. On the upside, competent translators don't usually lack work, because they are a rare commodity. 1 person has voted this message useful |
