Professional Translators for Bulgarian
Association of Professional Translators for the Bulgarian language. Translators are professional linguists who perform written translations, as opposed to oral or spoken translation, which is done by interpreters. In this type of associations we usually find translators specializing in many fields: technical, legal, medical, pharmaceutical and scientific. We might also find sworn/official translators who have been authorized by a Bulgarian agency or department.
Bulgarian translators are mostly freelancers working from home for their own clients or for translation agencies. They sometimes team up with other Bulgarian and other language translators and proofreaders to expand their range of services. The work of a Bulgarian translator consists of thoroughly understanding the text to be translated, getting to know the subject matter, carrying out terminology research and knowing the computer tools to help with translation, which will enable him/her to offer a cost-effective and quality work.
This particular Bulgarian association is made up of translators of various specializations and language combinations. There is probably another association in Bulgaria focusing on sworn translators, technical translators, audiovisual translators or court translators. If there is any, you will find the link below.
Professional Interpreters for Bulgarian
The interpreters of this association are focused on spoken translation between Bulgarian and other languages. There are several methods of interpretation: simultaneous, conference, liaison or whispered. “Bulgarian Translators’ Union” provides a directory of Bulgarian interpreters who are available to offer their services in Bulgaria. The head office is in Sofia, but the interpreters work all over Bulgaria. Interpreters often work for international organisations such as the European Parliament, the UN or NATO. Bulgarian interpreters are also needed in hospitals, at trade fairs or at international summits where political leaders meet.
Simultaneous Bulgarian interpretation is needed at conferences, on television or at any event where participants need to understand a speaker in real time and without interruptions. The special thing about this is that technical equipment such as booths, microphones and headphones are required.
In consecutive interpreting, Bulgarian interpreters interrupt the speaker and translate the speech one chunk at a time. They can be seen, for example, at informal press conferences, which are often improvised and do not have the necessary equipment.
And finally there is the so-called whispered interpretation between Bulgarian and other languages, where the interpreter acts as an intermediary in a conversation between two people and translates in a low voice.
