going rate for translators in poland?

just wondering how much you'd be earning a month in this profession. cheers

Very often it is not regular work. So it is a difficult question to answer.

would you say it's a good job high paid in poland? and how long would the average job last if on a tempory basis?

You might be better off working for a British company with an office in Poland, or a government department.

For an ordinary guy trying to make money, it's your reputation that gets you work.

Sorry to be vague. I don't really know what you can earn.

Most people look for work translating texts. You might be better off looking for oral translation work [conferences etc] [some of this work will give you travel and hotel expenses]

Sorry, can't offer more.

Unless these are some special, let's say medical texts, which required a serious medical (or economical or... ) knowledge then not much, just because there are many Poles, who can do that. A little better situation is with a native English speakers, who are teaching English, they get better cash than Polish teachers.

Are you kidding? Have you lost your mind?

Poles write English like polar bears tight-rope walk. They are unbelievably useless. Trying to read a text translated into English by a native Pole is like eating soup with a fork.

Polish translations into English are unbelievably crap, which is why there's plenty of room for English native speakers in the Polish translation market.

Barx,

You are wrong.

Kindly elucidate me, dude...

yeah yeah, Barx is absolutely right!! I'm still learning here, for example : a lot of ppl here use: she do. I was stupid believing that: she does :O Idiot me! Sometimes Polish can be usefull for spelling. My landlord, English, always ask me how to spell tomorrow etc.

Son, don't make me hurt you...

There is a huge difference between translations done by a Pole who just knows English and a Pole with a degree in English or a professional translator. If it's translation from English to Polish, then a professional Polish translator would do far much better than an English native speaker who just knows Polish.

it should be 'Drinking soup'.

I am Polish by the way...
