Translation salary mainly depends on the number of words. The general translation price in China is about 200 yuan to 300 yuan per thousand words.
CATTI is a nationwide, unified, and society-wide translation professional qualification certification examination. It evaluates and identifies the bilingual translation ability and level of reference personnel in terms of oral or written translation. Among the CATTI series of exams, the most useful one is the Level 2 Interpretation Certificate, which is also the most valuable one. From a "practical" point of view, the Level 2 Interpretation Certificate is definitely useful, at least it is a necessary stepping stone in some recruitment examinations. At the same time, it is definitely a very convincing demonstration of strength. With this certificate, it is possible to do freelance translation without going to a fixed company.
CATTI not only proves translation level but also “qualification”. Currently, the translation of many materials requires translators with “qualification”. For example, study abroad or immigration materials will not be recognized if they do not have a CATTI translation qualification certificate or other national-level professional qualification certificates, regardless of the quality of the translation. It must be translated by a qualified translation company or translator before it will be recognized by the Immigration Bureau. Generally speaking, if you work in a company, the price of translation will be higher, but if it is translated by an individual with translation qualifications, the price will be lower.
