Translation question

[Ann Zdunczyk]

I agree with the others, you are looking for 2 people.

One to handle the translation and one to train. Your trainer should
definitely be bilingual. Another thing that has not been mentioned is that
the person or persons translating the documentation has to understand the
technology that they are dealing with.

Not sure why your VP thinks it would be cheaper to hire a person to handle
the translation rather than using a translation house since the trend over
the last 10 years or so has been to go the other way. I started out, in this
business, with a company that had their own in-house translation and DTP
group, later on this group was downsized and the translation and dtp was out
sourced, leaving only project management and a very small group of
translators in-house.

Guys,
 
A VP at my company wants to hire a person whose main job functions are the
following:
 
Translate technical writing docs to Korean Train the Korean FSE's on the
procedures in the docs.
 
He also wants the same position for Japanese.
 
Any idea the type of salary this person would command? Know anyone who
qualifies?
 
He thinks this would be cheaper than using a translation house since we have
thousands of procedures that need translation and more efficient since the
person would also be a trainer.
 

Thank you,
