Forums > Living in Kunming > what qualifications you need to translate chinese to english...

I detect that English is your mother-tongue which is the main requirement (International regulations mandate that one must translate into one's own language - something usually disbelieved in China - although this requirement varies for interpreters).

A Masters (Translation) degree is useful, especially if you wish to join a translation society but, having said that, students could join, and it is a great way to conduct the essential networking.

In addition to a language degree, it is almost essential to have another technical qualification, for example, a basic engineering or science college certificate.

I do not think that "most" translators work for free but, in China, you will need to exert enormous effort trying to convince industry that Chinese translators of Chinese into English produce terrible work (You may wish to consider editing).

It takes many, many, years to gain the required experience, but do not give up because it is a great profession ... and quite lucrative in Europe and North America.

It has been my experience that the word 'hate' is used continuously by English-speaking Chinese, both young and old. When discussed in class, one discovers that weaker similes, e.g., dislike, have not appeared in their vocabulary. So, don't worry too much about it - you probably don't like every Chinese person that you meet.

Try to discover if the mother is a Buddhist, and explain that 'hatred' is sinful. ;-)

Oh, and ignore liwei's comment.

I'll pass on my hopes of becoming a shorter person, but it is impossible to ignore the article about illegal timber imports. Permit me to quote, "... trade between Myanmar and China in illegal timber has declined significantly since 2005."

My goodness, the trade has declined significantly down to 90% ... whatever next!

Spitting? Excuse my mirth.

Those of us who have held a Foreign Expert 'qualification' are bound, I suspect, to smile at such titles as; deputy... and assistant.... I suggest that with a foreign (perhaps) PhD in Economics, they will be more qualified than their heads of department (even at 40). And after a 2-year probation period of being told that, "it's always been done this way," these unfortunate citizens will likely rush to renew their foreign citizenship application.

A thought occurs to me; Did the article "Kunming aims to improve quality of residents in three years" originate on the 1st April?

I think that this is a wonderful friendship project. A similar US project would be even better, perhaps President Obama will suggest something when he goes to visit. And I wonder if the British Council have an office in Iran?

I guess that what I'm saying is (between the lines) that there aren't any nuclear bombs in Iran until I actually see them.

This restaurant is totally overwhelmed whenever the 4th floor is opened ... especially at weekends.

The kitchen is too small, and the kitchen staff too inexperienced. As others have said, it isn't difficult to learn that an 'appetizer' is a 'starter' and should be served before the main course.

To explain that the kitchen is "Too busy" should mean. 'CLOSE THE TOP FLOOR!'

The owner must recruit more staff from India, and spend more time at the restaurant (He hasn't been here here for three months).

Poor service, certainly. Exagerated ego, probably.

I am considering a visit to Kunming soon.
This information confuses me. There is another hotel on the opposite side of the street (opposite the university's West Gate) that is also called (as far as I remember) Yunnan University Hotel.
It is much less expensive.
Hotel reviews are much needed.
