Translation Project Management Intern

The role of a Translation Intern involves performing various tasks, including learning a multitude of software programs: Trados, DTP Software (such as InDesign and Adobe), Sage Accounting, our proprietary database of translators, and other technical components. Interns also work with various departments within the company, as well as with external contacts such as clients, translators, and DTP professionals. They get a wide exposure to the inner workings of Project Management for a multitude of projects with unique requirements. The program ensures that interns understand how to manage projects from A to Z. This starts with analysis, which includes Word Counts, formatting, and Desktop Publishing requirements, and understanding specific instructions from clients. Once a project is approved, they go through the entire development process, entering it into the system, translator and DTP selection, following up with linguists and DTP specialists, negotiating as needed with them, and providing appropriate instructions for each job, through completion.
