subject: Qualities and Types of Swedish Translators [print this page] Converting the given materials from one language to another is predominantly the job of a translator. The language converted is generally the native language of the translator. Translators mainly deal with written documents.
It is expected that the Swedish Translator hired by the company would be strong in their grammar and analytical skills. Since it is an obviously expected fact that the translations must be accurate, the Swedish translator needs to have strong editing skills.
To Be Kept In Mind:
* The Swedish Translator needs to keep in mind while translating that the translation has to seem as original as the sourced text.
* The words and phrases used by the translator should have a certain lucidity of flow.
* In case of dealing with people from different cultures, the Swedish translator should keep in mind the cultural references that they may have used, taking care to clearly explain the meaning of every reference that has been drawn in his translation.
* The Swedish Translator should never forget that certain words or phrases that he uses may have dual meanings. In that case he should try and avoid using such terms, as much as possible.
Types of Translators:
* The Judicial Translators In certain legal cases the people defending might have limited proficiency of a particular language. In such cases the translators' job (Swedish Translator, in this regard) is to help such people by translating and interpreting the legal intricacies in the language of their client and help them solidify their understanding of the case.
* Medical Translators In hospitals and medical institutions various patient materials and brochures are freely distributed to the patients. It is the job of the Swedish Translators working for the medical institution or hospital to translate these given articles to patients in their native language (Swedish language in this case).
* Literary Translators These types of translators adapt the given written literature from one language to another, it can also be taken to be a form of creative writing. These translators very often work with the original authors of the books so that they can better capture the essence of the ideas and literary characteristics of book to be translated.
* Localization Translators The job of the translators is to try and get as near to adapting the original product or service into the language of the country where it would be supported and sold.
Most Swedish translators work independently or freelance from their own homes or offices. They are in high demand these days, and therefore very highly paid too.
