Develop a specialism
Translators can build expertise around their language skills and industry background. Reviewers also need judgement, communication and consistency management. Project managers focus on planning, risk, delivery and client coordination.
Make progress visible
Progress is informed by project feedback, verified subject knowledge, tool skills and reliable delivery, not word counts alone. Roles and progression depend on the company’s current arrangements.
Keep development records by role
- Translation: retain anonymized terminology decisions, query resolutions and revision examples with reasons.
- Review: record issue classification, consistency checks across files and the ability to explain revisions to translators.
- Project management: demonstrate coordination through scheduling, scope-change and handover records; development opportunities depend on actual roles.
