The educational center "Intensive" offers all interested institutions, companies and individuals unique courses of simultaneous translation - courses for the preparation of professional simultaneous interpreters for subsequent work at international conferences, forums, meetings. Recommended for those who speak the language fluently or graduates of language universities to acquire simultaneous translation skills, as well as translators who speak consecutive translation to improve their qualifications.

The interpreters course instructors are leading specialists in the field of simultaneous interpretation with experience of work in various international organizations, such as the UN, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, NATO, the European Center for the Study of Security and International Relations. George Marshall, as well as the Moscow Government and various companies. Our teachers are also invited to various universities in Moscow to give lectures.

Not everyone who knows foreign language, knows how to translate, not every translator is capable of translating simultaneously, i.e. perform work that requires not only good command of native and foreign languages, but also a combination of a number of psychological and emotional qualities, such as: the ability to concentrate without undue stress, the ability to react with lightning speed to all turns in the speaker's speech, even if this speech does not shine with a logical structure , the ability to closely follow the train of thought, while not missing out on factual information.

Add to this the ability to quickly delve into new topic mastering its operational vocabulary. All this is difficult, but realistic for those who do not stop on the path of their self-improvement in the field of professional language proficiency.

According to alumni and students of our simultaneous translation courses, "this course is not just a series of lessons, but a real training, not only linguistic, but also psychological." How could it be otherwise if it is conducted by existing simultaneous interpreters who have worked in this field for many years.

The best graduates of the course of simultaneous interpreters are invited to various conferences, exhibitions, forums, where they can fully apply their knowledge and express themselves. In November 2007, the International Conference of Russian Railways was held, dedicated to freight traffic. This conference was attended by 6 graduates of our course of simultaneous interpreters and 5 masters. Along with the masters, our graduates looked decent and worked on an equal footing!

Learning

Analyze
The quality of the translation depends a little less than completely on the correct analysis of the text. Alas, this is a stage that most translators ignore for some reason. We learn to analyze text, search and filter information, use hints.

P to name
An indistinct and "muddy" translation text is a sign that the translator did not understand the original text. We learn to understand what the author wanted to say, to whom he wanted to say it and why. We isolate the idea and purpose of the text, build its structure. We need them to build our translation.

Transfer
Not a word in a word, but a meaning with a meaning, as St. Jerome bequeathed. Slender and logical, in the right style and register, without losing (or adding inappropriate) colors, sounds, images and emotions. In a language understandable and accessible to the reader. So that only you and your client know that this is a translation.

*************************

The workshop is built on the so-called general texts or non-specialized texts. They like to say about them that their translation does not require special training or special knowledge. But seemingly simple materials about things that are known and understandable to you actually require an attentive attitude and a deep understanding of the subject or phenomenon that they describe. You will not be able to correctly translate even an omelet recipe if your mother has been preparing an omelet for you all your life, but about such things as the composition of products and their the nutritional value, you never had to think about it.

A properly structured translation process decides here. And to build it up and bring it to automatism, of course, is easiest on texts that do not require six months of research and study of the topic: you can watch how an omelet is prepared on YouTube, find out how eggs are useful - from Wikipedia. The strategy and logic of the process, various tactics, algorithms and approaches - all this, once developed and brought to perfection by practice, will allow you to work in any industry in the future: even in oil and gas, even in marketing.

All texts are taken from real practice.

How to start making money with translations no work experience, and reach an income of 50 thousand rubles per month 90 days or less ...

You are on the verge of discovering the main "secret" - how to make customers fall in love with you and start earning IMMEDIATELY 2 times more than experienced translators

Hello colleague translator!

And I want to start our conversation with the most unpleasant.

"You are not needed by ANYONE!"

This is the phrase said by the director of the largest and oldest translation bureau in our city, speaking at a conference to students and graduates of the linguistic university.

I was also one of the invited participants of the conference, and I really wanted to get up and somehow calm the audience. Because on their faces there was complete bewilderment and even shock.

But in essence, this man was right.

You want to start doing translations in order, for example, to travel and, at the same time, earn money on your knowledge of a foreign language. But no one is waiting for you with open arms.

Work experience is needed everywhere. A year, three, five years (and sometimes even more). And nobody cares about your language certificates and translation diplomas. The only thing a potential customer needs from you is your work experience.

But where to get it, if the job is not given?

Some translators are tricky. They decide to work cheap (very, very cheap) for a while in order to get the coveted experience, and then get a job at a normal place with normal translation rates.

But even here an unpleasant surprise awaits them. It turns out that no one is going to pay them 5-10 times more, even if they have 5-10 years of work experience.

I personally know a huge number of translators who have worked for more than 30 years, and their rates have remained at the level of the most beginners.

Yes, I know what you want.

You want to do what you love - work with a foreign language. But at the same time, it is important for you that your work is adequately paid. And preferably not in 5-10 years, but as soon as possible. Otherwise, who has the patience to wait so long? Moreover, it is not a fact that you will ever wait for this.

And you know, in fact, there is a "secret" way to start making money with translations without work experience, and reach an income of 50 thousand rubles per month in 90 days or even faster.

You just need to know how to do it CORRECTLY.

You are already going in the wrong direction if ...

• Hope for language certificates

In fact, the level of knowledge of a foreign language is not at all as important as you might think. You can know the language perfectly and be a bad translator (and vice versa). Therefore, a potential customer will not even look at your certificates.

• Want to learn another foreign language

If you think that you are not given orders because your foreign language is too widespread (or vice versa - too rare), then you are mistaken. With any language, the exact same picture awaits you. As for the rarity, finding a good translator, even with English, is a very big problem.

• Planning to get a second degree

Maybe customers will rush at you when they find out that you are not only fluent in the language, but also an expert in some field? No, they won't rush. Moreover, you will be given translations on a variety of topics. Are you going to get a "tower" for each of them? So ten lives will not be enough.

• Do you want to get a higher translation education

I don’t want to upset you, but I took my translation diploma out of the drawer only a couple of times after graduation. Potential customers do not care about professional translation education at all. Because universities do not teach what a translator really needs to know and be able to do.

I opened my own translation agency and found myself "on the other side of the barricades"

In 2007, I graduated from the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Linguistic University with a brand new translator's diploma. It was not easy for me, because two last years I hardly showed up in class.

Instead, I worked at a local translation agency and earned as much as 70 rubles for every 1,800 translation characters (which I was paid with a delay of 3-4 months). But it was real money for real work by specialty.

This means that I was more fortunate than my classmates, 95% of whom have not worked as translators for a minute in their lives (neither before nor after graduation). During these two years of work, I met with direct customers, understood how and what works in the translation market.

And a year after graduation, I was already opening my own translation agency. And here a surprise awaited me.

Up to this point, almost all orders were carried out together by me and my future wife. But after opening the company, we had to look for hired translators.

And then it turned out that there are practically no translators.

That is, yesterday's and the day before yesterday's graduates came to us with knowledge of a foreign language, but none of them literally could not be allowed to translate.

Then I realized how all the heads of translation bureaus feel when a newbie sends them his resume.

What customers really think when they consider your candidacy for a translator

Here's the truth. Leaders and managers of translation agencies pray that you will be "the one".

They need you. A good translator is worth its weight in gold. Finding such a translator is even more difficult than finding a customer. Therefore, with each resume sent, they have a shy hope - what if it is he, the same translator who can be trusted?

But more often than not, deep disappointment awaits them.

Because most job seekers cannot be trusted with even the simplest order. Because after that the customer will leave and never return.

And here it’s pure logic - it’s cheaper to pay an expensive translator and keep the customer, than to trust the young one (even if you pay him 3-4 times less).

At that moment I realized how “lucky” I was that at the dawn of my career I ended up in a translation agency, where they cared little about the quality of work at all. The main thing is that they had a cheap labor force in my person, which could be paid with a delay of several months.

But not everyone is so "lucky" =))

And the most offensive thing is that I saw that all novice translators make the same mistakes. Literally the same. And every time I took a risk to give a newbie a chance, I had to explain the same thing to him, which I have explained dozens of times before.

And then an idea came to my mind.

I posted an announcement on our website that I provide free training for novice translators with subsequent employment.

From the candidates who came, I selected several people and began to work with them. Every evening, instead of walking home calmly, I discussed the intricacies of practical translation with them.

And the result amazed even me myself. In just 30 days, the completely green newcomers were ready for real translation work. They were not afraid to give orders. And they worked and earned.

And all they had to do was explain those basic things that for some reason no one told them anywhere - neither at the institute, nor in foreign language courses.

I was so encouraged by the success that I went to my native translation department and invited them to conduct their practical training course for translators.

Archive video of my speech at the performance faculty of the Novosibirsk State Linguistic University in 2009

Again, it worked. Students who have never done practical translation in real life, after 30 days were ready for real work.

They knew how to translate efficiently, quickly and correctly in terms of modern translation requirements. They have become the very "translators worth their weight in gold", which all customers are so eager to get to them.

And there is really no magic here. To become an elite translator (in terms of quality of work and level of earnings), you only need to do three things.

That's the whole "secret"!

To quickly become a sought-after translator, you just need to take the ready-made accumulated experience, instead of walking along the same "rake" for years

3 skills you need to master to become an elite catch-up translator

Skill # 1 - Translation Quality

The first thing a customer needs from you is that you really know how to translate. But the problem is that novice translators often have no idea what exactly they will have to deal with.

If they ever translated something, it was simple and clean texts, written in the correct language. But the reality is much worse.

You are given texts that are written by people in English that is not native to them, where they simply invented half of the terms themselves, and some of the words were misspelled.

At the same time, the text has no "beginning or end", because these are some kind of unrelated insertions in the Excel document. And here beginners often lose their nerves. Because "life did not prepare them for this."

That is why you need to learn to translate using real texts that you have to work with in real life. And preferably under the supervision of an experienced editor.

Skill # 2 - Making a Translation

Believe it or not, it often happens that your translation is excellent in terms of the quality of the text, but you still won't get paid for it.

Because in the form in which you completed the translation, you simply cannot hand it over to the customer.

The translation must be completed "one-to-one" with the original. All captions in pictures must be translated. All pictures must be inserted correctly and not "move out". The translation must be done without a single extra space or "tab".

This is what most newbies do not even know about.

They do not know whether it is necessary, for example, to translate the stamps on the document (and if necessary, how to correctly arrange the translation). And all this registration should be done not only neatly, but also very quickly.

Because no one will give you extra time to design the text. You need to meet all this within the agreed deadlines (usually very tight). And very often beginners spend 90% of their time on the design, and not on the translation itself. Hence the quality suffers greatly.

Therefore, it is very important to learn how to format the text of the translation one-to-one with the original literally "on the fly" - without taking your hands off the keyboard or grabbing the mouse.

Skill # 3 - Marketing Translation Services

This is what 90% of novice translators don't even think about. For some reason, it seems to them that the most important thing is to "work well", and then the customers themselves will offer them higher rates.

In fact, this will never happen.

If a customer pays you 100 rubles per page, and you work for 100 rubles per page, he will continue to pay you the same 100 rubles.

Never and never will come to you and say - "Hey, listen! You are such a great translator. I don't seem to pay you much. Let's double your rate.".

No, you will have to do your own promotion yourself.

But often translators are even afraid to consider asking for a rate hike. They are afraid that the customer will leave them immediately. And you know what? Most likely it will.

Because asking for a raise must be correct.

And if quite frankly, then you don't need to "ask" anyone about anything.

You need to properly organize the marketing of your services, and then the customers themselves will pay you two and three times more. Only so that you agree to work with them, and not with someone else.

What if I tell you that I PERSONALLY will help you master each of these three essential skills of an elite translator?

If you liked the idea of ​​quickly becoming a sought-after translator in order to start earning money right away, and not after a few years ...

If you believe that if it worked out for me and for other people, then it can work out for you too ...

If you understand that it is better to immediately take the ready-made accumulated experience than to walk on the same rake for years on your own (and eventually give up everything) ...

Then here's my proposal.

From the materials of the very course that I once taught live in my office, and then at the translation faculty of NGLU, I made a training called "Work! As a translator".

Over the eight years of its existence, this training has almost tripled in volume. It was constantly corrected and supplemented by the best editors of our Translation Center.

And now this is the fourth edition of this training. You receive a full training with practical assignments, and we check them and correct your mistakes.

How is the training in the "Work! Translator 4.0" training?

The training consists of six training modules. Immediately after payment, you get access to all materials. After completing all the tasks, you send them to us for verification. Our editors correct mistakes and give recommendations on how and what to do best in your particular situation.

Hello Dmitry!!! Having accidentally stumbled upon your "novice translator" course on the Internet, at first I thought that this was another divorce (life taught that there was no one to expect help), but I was pleasantly surprised after watching the first video, as I was ready to subscribe to each your word.

Having watched all the videos, as well as your speech at the university, I received a lot of useful and very necessary information, I completely agree with you that often people who do not have enough practice give knowledge at universities (we were more fortunate since the translation practice was conducted by a very experienced a teacher who motivated us green students by the fact that translations can make a very good loot). But here's how to achieve this ????? I got answers from your lessons.

I would like to thank you for your sincere help to a huge number of people who have absolutely no idea how to make good money from knowing foreign languages ​​(we are working less and less ..... =))). I have completed my resume and am waiting for a response from the translation agency ....

Regards, already a fairly experienced teacher, but a novice translator

Ryazan

For me personally, this is the best training in translation craft! Indeed, we are not taught at all to serve. But this skill is the key to a successful career.

In this course, I found answers to many questions, understood my mistakes and realized the prospects in the translation market.

Thank you Dmitry!

Kazan

Thanks a lot! A lot of useful information.

And most importantly, thanks to you, my views on some things have changed. Good luck to you and us!)

Vitebsk

I consider the material to be very practical, without unnecessary information, specific and rather laconic. It is certainly useful as it is designed for a specific application.

I have always disliked the abundance of unnecessary information, "water" in the literature for humanitarian specialties, so I am satisfied with the content of the course.

The most useful thing is that I got an idea of ​​what translation activity is in reality, what knowledge needs to be acquired and what skills need to be developed for effective work.

Nizhny Novgorod

Dmitry, thank you for the inspiration and a new look at the usual things in the profession of a translator!

The course turned out to be capacious, rich, useful and entertaining in theory and practice.

I would especially like to note your sense of humor and easy presentation of the material. We wish you further success in all the chosen directions! P.S. I will be glad to mutually beneficial cooperation.

Kirov

The course was very helpful! First of all, I would like to say that it is very interesting to study. Here, in my opinion, the following factors play a role (they are also one of the main advantages of this course):

Accessible presentation of lecture material. I repeat: it is very interesting to read such lectures. They are all built in practice, they are not boring, written in a simple and accessible (not dry, as in textbooks) language.

It is noticeable that the author of this project put his soul into both the lectures and this project as a whole. I often found it very funny when I read examples from your practice, sometimes it was sad, especially when I read about excellent students and realized that I could not disagree with you. Unfortunately, I am a former excellent student, so my job is really difficult in order to become a normal person (I'm not saying this for a joke, I actually share your opinion and want to get rid of the excellent student's syndrome once and for all);

The course is aimed specifically at developing practical skills; there is no unnecessary and unnecessary information in the lectures;

The course is great for distance learning(for me this is a big plus, because I prefer to study on my own);

When performing practical tasks, I was given specific goals, i.e. I must not only do such and such an exercise, I must be able to do it in ... minutes. Each block contains, as it were, mini-goals that I must achieve. Completing the task several times to learn how to do it for certain time I am building a skill. Now I don't just know how to do it; I can do it.

Omsk

Thank you very much Dmitry for your course.

It is really very useful, firstly, it adds confidence and optimism, and secondly, which affects me personally, I found several serious mistakes in the organization of my work, which, thanks to you, I will try to fix in the very near future.

Thanks again.
And great success to you!

The lyrics are wonderful! I am very glad that they are written in such an informal language.

At first the lectures seemed too "chewed", but in the process of reading and completing assignments, it turned out that for me everything is just right and rereading is not boring.

Despite the fact that I've been working with word for a long time, I really haven't used some functions.

Nizhny Novgorod

The texts are easy enough to understand, clearly stated, without unnecessary "water". And I also really liked the style of presentation, so easy, with humor :).

The assignments seemed difficult until I began to devote enough time to study the lectures.

But when you start to study everything carefully and train right there, everything works out.
