ITI STUDENT BULLETIN
SPRING 2019
In this issue:
• Finding the right job
• What agencies want from an industry expert
• Is post-editing machine translation the optimum hybrid?
• Tips and advice on internships in translation
And much more!
Introduction
Hello and welcome to the Spring edition of IgnITIon!
ITI has deliberately created this publication to target issues close to the heart of new starter-outers
in the translation and interpreting professions.
From what I have read, this new edition hits the spot, including articles on key issues for early
careerists such as: getting a first job (Sarah Thomas), mentoring (Vasiliki Korfiati), internships
(Louise Zhou) and targeting a specialist subject upon which to build a career (Sarah Bowyer).
There is also breaking news on new developments from Sophie Hoffman, who explores aspects
relating to the post-editing of machine translation, and Elizabeth Morgan, a recent winner of our
academic research award, reporting on her move forward into PhD studies (and many congratulations
to you, Elizabeth!).
We live in a changing world and it is great to hear that practitioners are keeping up with the momentum.
On that note, I think this is the moment to draw your attention to another recent ITI publication
that could provide valuable information for you: the ITI e-book “What’s on the horizon? Trends in
translation and interpreting 2019” (see page 14).
This e-book is a compendium of cutting-edge thinking on translation and interpreting from leading
academics, technologists and experienced practitioners who are all experts in the field. It gives a
broad yet targeted summary of current major trends in the sector, covering issues from the value
of core human translation skills and digital nomadism, through distance interpreting and concurrent
translation, to new openings for human translators in the development of apps, audio-visual
translation and global digital marketing.
So, when you finish with IgnITIon, that’s the place to go next.
I hope you enjoy your reading!

Translation skills are in demand
In a recent piece of research by LinkedIn that analysed recruitment data, translation came 9th in the
list of most in-demand hard skills (i.e. ability to do a specific task). Translation came through despite
a list dominated by tech skills.
In relation to soft skills, companies were most interested in 1) creativity, 2) persuasion, 3) collaboration,
4) adaptability and 5) time management.
More information about the research is available here.
