Default Re: Have You Ever Tried The Art Of Translation?

hi everybody,

I would like to ask about the business part of translation. How much money do a translator receive for his/her job in your country? Does it worth to be a translator in your country? Is it easy to obtain a Translator Authorization in your country?

PS in my country if you want to translate a literary text, for instance one page costs between 30 and 40 lei which is equivalent with 9 euro/10$. It is quite expansive. How about in your country? And a very good translator can earn up to 400-600 Euro in a month, but the avarage salary(translators) is about 250-300 Euro. Oh and if you want to obtain the authorozation for translation you have to face a lot of birocratism.
