I have translated for international institutions for more than 15 years and they now provide the bulk of the work I do.<\/p>\n

I decided to write the post in the form of a list of tips for people interested in translating and editing for this sector. They are general tips about finding clients and the kind of work you\u2019ll be doing.<\/p>\n

For a more nitty-gritty take on the subject, with some specific examples of how to address the kinds of problems that arise when translating for institutions, read Izaskun Orkwis\u2019s \u201cGoing Institutional: A Primer on Translation for International Organizations<\/a>\u201d, as well as my review of her article<\/a>, in which I give additional examples from my own experience.<\/p>\n

The tips below focus mainly on the United Nations (UN) system, but not all institutional translation is for UN institutions.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #1 \u2013 If you have the skills, believe in yourself<\/h2>\n

The international institutions have excellent mechanisms in place to ensure that they hire the best talent. I grew up in the UK, and though I wouldn\u2019t say I am from a poor family, I\u2019m not from the kind of background where you can walk into a high-paid job based on which secondary school you attended. But your background is irrelevant when it comes to working for international institutions, which do a good job of hiring based on merit. If you perform well in the UN language competitive examination (see below), for instance, there\u2019s every chance you\u2019ll be offered work by the UN, irrespective of your background, gender or the colour of your skin.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #2 \u2013 Make sure everyone you meet knows you\u2019re a translator<\/h2>\n

Despite what I wrote above, knowing the right people can still be useful. I began working for one of my institutional clients after a former university classmate who was working in the editorial department told me that their translation team was running behind schedule on a project and they needed extra translators. She knew I was a translator because of posts I\u2019d made on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #3 \u2013 Stand out from the crowd<\/h2>\n

Though I was very fortunate in how I got my foot through the door with the aforementioned institution, the reason they kept hiring me for ever-larger projects was because they were delighted with the documents I delivered. Thanks to my painstaking work, my efforts pointing out factual errors and my advice on sections that needed to be updated to reflect recent events, before long I was translating and using my own reviser for publications totalling more than 80,000 words.<\/p>\n

\"Institutional<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #4 \u2013 Don\u2019t become over-reliant on one client<\/h2>\n

There was a time when one of my institutional clients was providing me with over a third of my annual income. Marketing my services suddenly didn\u2019t seem important, since I had so much work at good rates. Then, all of a sudden, everything changed. Much of my income came from two large publications that were produced every year. One of those publications was taken over by a completely different institution, and the other changed from being written in Spanish and translated into English to being written in English and translated into Spanish. Great news for the institution\u2019s Spanish translators, but terrible news for me!<\/p>\n

Today, that institution barely sends me any work, because almost all their publications are drafted in English first.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #5 \u2013 Keep your eye out for the language competitive examinations<\/h2>\n

The United Nations and many of its specialized agencies<\/a> require freelancers and in-house staff to pass the language competitive examination<\/a> before they can be hired, but the examinations only come round about once every three or four years, so it\u2019s easy to miss them. Bookmark the link to the page where they\u2019re announced<\/a> (at the time of writing there are none planned) and add a monthly reminder to your calendar to check for upcoming examinations.<\/p>\n

To pass the exam, you\u2019ll need to be a skilled translator and editor, but you\u2019ll also need to prepare. I can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to prepare for the exam. The good news is that the UN provides excellent resources to help you prepare, especially its guidance on pr\u00e9cis writing<\/a> and its guidelines on reported speech<\/a>. There are many other<\/a> excellent resources<\/a> and videos<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #6 \u2013 Get in touch with the institutions<\/h2>\n

A few months after you\u2019ve been informed that you passed the exam, it\u2019s a good idea to start getting in touch with institutions to let them know you\u2019re available. Identify the places where you\u2019d like to work, try to contact the head of section for your language, and tell him or her that you\u2019re keen to start working with the department.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t feel offended if an institution asks you to sit yet another exam to work for them. Although passing the UN\u2019s language competitive examination will make you attractive to other institutions, some of them, even within the UN system<\/a>, may still ask you to sit their own test to see whether you can work with the kinds of documents they produce.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #7 \u2013 Be prepared to do short-term in-house work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

International institutions may invite you to work in-house on a short-term contract, either as a translator or as a pr\u00e9cis-writer producing summary records. For me, it\u2019s the best of both worlds: I get a steady flow of well-paid work lasting several weeks with the pleasure of some company in the office, but I don\u2019t have to make a long-term commitment that takes away the freedoms I have as a freelancer.<\/p>\n

Some institutions only outsource work to freelance translators who have already done in-house work, so you should be willing to do these kinds of contracts if you would like to receive work from institutions in the UN system.<\/p>\n

\"ONUG<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #8 \u2013 If you\u2019re an English translator, be willing to do pr\u00e9cis-writing<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve always been a freelance translator, chances are you\u2019ve never done pr\u00e9cis-writing. But if you are given a short-term contract at the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) and your first language is English, you\u2019re likely to spend 80% of your time doing pr\u00e9cis-writing to produce summary records of meetings of the human rights committees.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve passed the exam, it means you\u2019ve already picked up the basics, but you\u2019ll still have plenty to learn before you can start producing content for the summary records.<\/p>\n

The English Language Section team at UNOG are fully aware that pr\u00e9cis-writing is a new skill for its new recruits and they provide training throughout a translator\u2019s first contract. Only during their second contract do pr\u00e9cis-writers start producing content that will be published, following revision by a more senior staff member.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip #9 \u2013 Buy a good suitcase!<\/h2>\n

In addition to working at the main offices of international institutions, such as in Geneva, you may be asked if you would like to work on mission. In 2019, I did three missions: one in Nairobi, one in Athens and one in Bangkok. At each mission, I was part of a team producing the report for a multilateral meeting. Sometimes, the report has to be approved on the final day by the parties attending, so stock up on midnight oil if you\u2019re working on mission!<\/p>\n

Though a mission is very tiring and certainly isn\u2019t a holiday, you still get to enjoy some of the pleasures of travelling, such as sampling the local cuisine at mealtimes and travelling (albeit to work) in a rick shaw.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never been to Athens, so for the trip I requested a four-day extension to my stay in the Greek capital (at my own expense, of course). In Bangkok, I travelled a day early, but I spent most of the extra day recovering from jetlag. Nevertheless, on my final day in Bangkok I had a free morning during which I explored central Bangkok for a few hours. The highlight was discovering the dried-seafood market!<\/p>\n

Any questions about institutional translation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope to do some posts or videos on my own blog<\/a> in which I\u2019ll explore these 9 tips in greater depth. If you have any questions about institutional translation, please post them in the comments section, and I\u2019ll do my best to address them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
