What to know about Translators
Translation is an unregulated occupation in the United Kingdom. No government body issues a translator's licence, there is no register you must join before you can sell a translation, and nothing stops an unqualified person calling themselves a translator. Buyers here judge translators on evidence instead: a degree or diploma in translation, membership of a professional body such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, demonstrable experience in the subject area, and references from work of the same type.

Certified Translators guide
Unlike most of Europe, the United Kingdom has no sworn translators. There is no court-appointed cadre, no government examination that confers the status and no official seal.

Interpreters guide
Interpreting is spoken, live and unrepeatable, which makes it a different purchase from translation. In the United Kingdom the job splits into two worlds that rarely overlap.
