What Does a Translator Do?

Translators and interpreters convert text, conversations, speeches, and other types of information from their original language into another language. The primary difference between the two jobs is translators work with written documents while interpreters convert spoken or sign language. It is a translator's goal to have the translated text with the same tone and meaning as the original version. For example, they must be able to express the meanings behind slang and other expressions that may not translate literally. For this job, you must be fluent in at least two languages and have a good understanding of the cultural expressions and social influences on the languages.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Translator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Translator, you need advanced proficiency in at least two languages, strong cultural knowledge, and typically a degree in translation, linguistics, or a related field. Familiarity with computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, terminology management systems, and sometimes certification from recognized organizations like ATA is common. Attention to detail, adaptability, and excellent communication skills help translators deliver precise and culturally appropriate content. These skills are essential for ensuring accurate, contextually relevant translations that meet client needs across various industries.

What are some common challenges translators face when working on specialized texts, and how can they overcome them?

Translators often encounter challenges when working with specialized texts, such as legal, medical, or technical documents, due to complex terminology and nuanced concepts. To overcome these challenges, it's important to conduct thorough research, consult subject matter experts, and utilize specialized dictionaries or glossaries. Building a strong network of professional contacts and continually updating one’s industry knowledge can also help translators maintain accuracy and clarity in their work. Collaboration with editors or peers is common to ensure the final translation meets both linguistic and subject-specific standards.

In support of this collaboration, pediatric oncology research has been allotted significant space in the newly built Primary Children's and Families' Research Center at HCI.

Candidates whose cancer research interests are aligned with these fields are strongly encouraged to apply.

Qualified candidates are expected to hold a M.D., D.O., or Ph.D. degree, and must have focused training in basic and/or translational science directly related to pediatric cancer. Outstanding applicants will be expected to develop an independent laboratory-based research program focused on basic and translational studies in areas relevant to pediatric oncology. Qualified candidates at the Assistant Professor level should have a track record of innovative research, a demonstrated ability to attract sustained research funding, and peer-reviewed publications of impact in the areas of cell therapy, cancer genetics, epigenetics, tumor modeling, and/or experimental therapeutics. Outstanding candidates who additionally have an extensive track record, and an established history of extramural funding will be considered for appointment at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. Candidates who desire to participate in patient care, must also be Board Eligible/Board Certified in Pediatric Hematology Oncology.
