Forgein Language  
 
Foreign language as a career has always been a very attractive proposition. Especially it is more attractive to girls who are outgoing and have a flair for languages. The opportunities are immense starting from a tour operator to an interpreter.
 
Eligibility :
No specific qualifications are required for candidates who want to pursue language courses offered by cultural centers attached to embassies, such as the Alliance Francaise, the Max Mueller Bhavan etc. School children are also eligible to take up the course. However for candidates who want to do graduation or post graduation in foreign languages there are various other options. Some institutions such as the Jawaharalal Nehru University conduct entrance examinations for their B.A., M.A. and M.Phil courses for various foreign languages.
 
Career Opportunities :
Openings depend upon proficiency in the language. But broadly these could be in teaching, or as tour-guide, interpreter and translator. Newcomers should take up teaching. Fluency is what matters and teaching helps in achieving it enormously. Those not wanting to take up regular teaching assignments could take private tuitions for which there are many takers. Among these are exporters, executives and students keen to have a stint abroad.
The art of translation requires a good command over two or more languages. Special expertise is required in the language in which the document has to be translated. The work includes translating documents which may be technical, scientific, literary or related to business.
Interpretation means conveying the message verbally form one language to another. It not only requires command over the language but verbal communication skills.
 
Freelancing Opportunities:
Translation bureaus, research organizations, international organizations like UNO,FAO, Reserve Bank of India, foreign companies and publishing houses offer opportunities for regular employment. From job point of view, students should give priority to countries with which India has political, economic and cultural ties.
 
Remuneration:
If one opts for teaching, emoluments are according to fixed scales. This could be between Rs. 10000 and Rs. 15000 for a lecturer and more than Rs. 20000 for a professor. A translator can earn between Rs. 100 to 200 per page. If the document is of technical nature, a translator gets more. An interpreter gets paid by the hours and the current market rate is anywhere between Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 per hour. International organizations pay better.
