Translator Registration Form
If you are thinking of becoming a freelance professional translator, you need at least a degree in languages, with preferably a post-graduate qualification in translation.
We only ever ask a translator to translate into his/her mother tongue.
First Edition welcomes applications from freelance translators with a membership of a recognised professional institute.
