Description
The role
In the role of translation intern, the intern will carry out a variety of tasks. These tasks will include learning many software programs, including Trados, DTP software such as InDesign and Adobe, Sage Accounting, our in-house translator database, as well as other technical components. In addition, the intern will work with various departments within the company, as well as with external contacts such as clients, translators and DTP professionals. They will gain broad exposure to the inner workings of project management, across a multitude of projects with specific requirements.
The programme will allow the intern to understand how to manage a project from start to finish. These projects begin with an initial analysis, including word counts, formatting and DTP requirements, as well as understanding specific client instructions. Once the project is approved, the intern will follow the entire process: creating the project in the system, selecting translators and DTP specialists, following up with linguists, negotiating where necessary, communicating precise instructions for each task, through to project completion.
Before finalisation, a proofreading and checking stage is carried out to ensure that all instructions have been followed. Once the project is validated, it is sent to the client and then closed in the accounting system.
