German Translation Employment
I did a Google search for German translation employment and the top result was the Google Directory for Employment. I didn’t know That Google even had a Directory for Employment.
The first result in my Google Directory for Employment search for German translation employment was for a website called translatorsbase.com. This is an online registry of translators and translation agencies.
There is a very cool advanced registry search on the translatorbase.com website. I looked for native German speakers for German translation into United States English. You are able to designate an area of expertise and I left the default of ‘All’ and chose the United States as the country of my search.
What came up were 189 different translators that could all conduct a German translation. I went back to the advanced search criteria and narrowed my search to include only religion as the area of expertise. Twenty one different translators came up in this search.
The top result for German translation was for an agency called Professional Translations that was founded in 1981. They have a five-star rating. The second search result was for a freelancer named C. Berg. She also had a five-star rating and a popularity of 53. I don’t really know what the popularity number means.
My father-in-law is a German professor. There aren’t very many German majors at the institution he teaches at. I knew one of the German majors a few years ago that got a job the summer after graduation doing German translation at the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon in the United States is a popular tourist destination for German tourists and they hire people for German translation because there is an actual need for this service. This is a great summer job for someone in college or just out of college.
