Hi there,

I know at least two Universities that have the translator carreer:
Monterrey University and Kenedy University

Nevertheless, it is difficult to find graduated translators as most of the americans are BA in the language they wanted to specialize.

Learning a language is not the same as learning how to translate.

Also, they created organizations such as ATA (American Translators Association) that provides many different types of memberships.

Type 1: You pay and become a member
Type 2: You pay and do a translation test of 500 words and you become a certified member....

If I were a customer acquiring this type of service it will not be enough...
