The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) has announced a series of competitions for translator positions in eight European Union (EU) languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, Greek, Italian, Maltese, and Spanish.
The job, for which the announcement says “no professional experience is required,” consists of translation from at least two source languages into a target language, updating translations, editing, performing quality assurance, researching terminology, and contributing to training activities and the development of IT tools.
The source materials are described as often complex texts that usually cover political, legal, economic, financial, scientific, and technical subjects related to the EU’s business. Translators are also expected to translate communications and subtitles using specialized tools.
