Marion’s internship at Wolfestone
My three-month internship as a translator is unfortunately coming to an end. First of all, I would like to thank all of the Wolfestone team for giving me the opportunity of doing an internship here and for all their help and advice. It was a very good and rewarding experience. I enjoyed working in a multicultural office with young colleagues and in a relaxed atmosphere.
At the beginning of my work placement, I was given some documents to practice, which were documents which had already been translated such as Birth Certificates. It was interesting to discover new kinds of translations, different to the ones we do at university. I feel that my translation skills improved a lot during my time here.
The translations or proofreading I carried out were varied, so I could learn and discover a broad range of new terms. When I had any questions, I could ask my colleagues or the other interns who were always happy to help me. I also had to deal with some projects in a team with another intern, which was good to share our opinions and justify our translation choices etc.
I took part in several projects, including a voice-over one. I liked being given the opportunity of discovering something else other than translation and participating in the voice-over, from proofreading the target text and recording it, to editing the video.
