	I've shyly thought that it would be cool - working as a translator or an interpreter in the Netherlands or Sweden, for example... Do you know what are the possibilities for that with Persian or Slavic languages? Or maybe you know such particular job? 1 person has voted this message useful

	Both translators and interpreters are mostly freelancers, so basically you can live wherever you want and work for customers from all over the world. Well, as a translator at least, as interpreting usually involves travelling and depending on where you live and what your travel costs would be the customer may or may not want to hire you. There are some in-office jobs too, though - in travel agencies or companies. In Western Europe, translators usually work into their native/strongest language which means you would translate into Polish. I doubt there is high demand for Persian-Polish translators either in Sweden or the Netherlands. If you want to work as a professional interpreter and live outside Poland, Brussels is probably your best bet. You could even live in the Netherlands and work as an interpreter for the European institutions. A degree or postgraduate qualification in conference interpreting would be strongly recommended, if not necessary. With fluent Dutch/Swedish you could also find some work in the Netherlands or Sweden, respectively (hopefully there are some HTLAL users who know more about the market in these countries). 2 persons have voted this message useful
