After working as a translator for some time now, it feels good to make it official. As of today, I am officially certified by the Society of Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia to translate from English to Swedish, and from Swedish to English.
I took the exams back in May, and it was a tough, brain-draining day with one exam in the morning, and one in the afternoon. However, it was worth the sweat, handwriting (the exams are all written by hand) and page-turning in my hardcover thesaurus and dictionary.
What I’ll do with my new linguistic superpowers? Well, I’ll keep working on those subtitle translations, and see what the future brings.
(Real certification seal coming soon. This is a placeholder.)
