Translation question

[Sarah O'Keefe]

Let's see.

* Bilingual Korean-English (or Japanese-English)
* capable of translating "proprietary technologies in optics, software
and systems integration designed to meet the process control
requirements of today’s advanced semiconductor technologies" (I don't
think I even understand that in English!!)
* capable of training people on the above

Does this person even exist in the universe?

I'm going to go with, "They would be very very very expensive." :-)

Also, I'm pretty sure that your VP is mistaken. Like tech writers, a lot
of translators are pretty introverted. Most trainers are pretty
extroverted. Rare to find someone who would enjoy both kinds of work.
This sounds like two different people to me.
