Being in the translation field, I get a lot of queries from people who speak more than two foreign languages. They think that translation is quiet easy as you just have to translate a document or text from one language to the other. But it is not so as translation requires much more than just conversing, reading or even the ability to teach. These skills are helpful for a german english translator but it does not make you a good translator.
If you have the knowledge and ability to work as a german translator Brisbane than you should definitely choose this career. Your ability to express yourself in both the languages is equally important. It is important to know more about your native as well as the second language, the right words, synonyms, expressions all needs to be worked upon.
There should be a flow in your translation work that needs to be professional yet easy to understand. If you are weak in grammar, no knowledge of foreign language can change it and it would be visible in your work. The translation would be difficult to read and the main idea or content would differ due to these issues.
German English translators need unique set of skills that can be picked up, learnt, and perfected only if the translator has the interest to master the job. Once you become an expert in your work there is no dearth of work coming towards you and the rewards are also great. It is a career that is both monetarily and personally satisfactory as your learn while you earn.
