Translation Jobs

The Hunter MATI program prepares students precisely to meet the pressing demand for quality and effective interlingual communication in all industries.

Today’s hyperconnected world is a multilingual one. New York State alone is home to over 800 languages spoken by 30% of its residents. In 2020, a CSA market survey of 29 countries finds 76% of e-commerce consumers choosing to complete transactions in a language other than English. According to Slator.com, Verizon Media is said to have translated-localized an average 500,000 words monthly, reaching 56 locations in the US and around the world.

Professional translators work with written texts and multimedia content often utilizing proprietary software and platforms.
Those specializing in critical languages may take on full-time or long-term contract positions with government and international organizations working as Area-, Diplomatic-, or Language-Specialist, or simply Linguist.
In the private sectors, translators will find diverse in-house jobs with desk titles that refer to their language and/or scope of work, as in: Spanish Public Relations, Chinese Outreach Manager, Russian Marketing Strategist, Arts and Culture Researcher, Product Compliance Reviewer, etc.
More experienced translators may develop field specialization to work in legal or financial translation, medical/pharmaceutical terminology, video game design, transcreation and so on.
