It definitely makes sense, even if you require more specific qualifications for court translations and the like. On your PS...

I like your comparison between the translator and a musician and of course you are right with the reasoning that some sort of translation certification will give you more credibility - a bit similar to what you described in your previous blog about the CAT tools. <br />I was lucky enough that Australia has its own accreditation authority and thanks to my former qualification and experience (!) I was allowed to sit the test without having to under take any additional years of further study.<br />P.S.: I really admire your writing skills!Petra Jungehttp://www.translationworks.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71961901333441809.post-40994026532964894952013-04-14T16:25:01.020-07:002013-04-14T16:25:01.020-07:00Congratulations Monica!

I am now living in Brazil so even though that would involve some travelling, the cost of going to Montevideo is far less that one to the US or England.<br />Great post!<br />Monica V.
