2. What does a certification and accreditation of translator/interpreter mean? And where it can be received from?
Certification: A voluntary process by which an organization grants recognition to an individual who has met certain predetermined qualification standards.
The certification has gained momentum and many companies are now more and more reluctant to work with any partners who cannot offer the same formal level of guarantee. But gaining true certification (proof, by an external body, of compliance with certain predetermined standards) is a long and expensive process. Translation companies can apply for the relevant certification under one of the ISO.
Accreditation: A process by which an entity grants public recognition to an organization such as a school, institute, college, program, facility, or company that has met predetermined standards.
Translators can get accreditation from one or more translators’ associations or accreditation boards: Among the associations and authorities that have accreditation exams are OTIAQ (Quebec), ASTM and ATA (USA), SATI (South Africa), NAATI (Australia).
