Aurora asked: How can I become certified in Arabic and French?



The Spanish Translator: Thanks for the question, Aurora. Since I'm not an Arabic or French translator, I am not aware of everything that is available for translators to become certified in those language pairs. However, many of the places that do offer certification do so in more than one language and French is one of the most common languages that you'll find for certification. Arabic might be a little more difficult, but there has been an increase over the last few years for certified Arabic translators.

Recently I have been in contact with a colleague that offers a pretty good certification program for seven different languages, including French. If you're interested, be sure to check it out. It's run by the Global Translation Institute and I think it might be just what you want, at least for the French certification.
