Internship in Spain at Danish-Owned Translation Agency
COMUNICA is currently looking to recruit Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish and Dutch translator interns for a period of 3-6 months in 2023.
We can offer you a focused internship in the intense and very dynamic translation industry. You will receive training in the industry’s most innovative CAT tools and gain an insight into what it means and takes to work as a professional translator.
Would you like to combine practical work experience with a stay abroad?
Would you like to be part of a young and dynamic team?
Do you love languages and translating? And maybe writing texts?
Are you outgoing and positive by nature?
If you can answer YES to all the above, then the internship position at COMUNICA is definitely something for you.
The intern’s primary function will be to carry out translation projects from English into their mother tongue, but there is also an opportunity to practise other skills like for instance writing skills, proof reading, copywriting tasks, project coordination and various marketing tasks.
We are primarily interested in students, who have studied Translations Studies with a focus on the English language, or Language Studies. Some knowledge of Spanish is a bonus but not a requirement.
Why do an internship?
Working as an intern is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable work experience as well as create networks and achieve coherence between theory and practice. An internship is therefore a valuable contribution to your CV and can be “the little extra” that sets you apart from the crowd.
What can COMUNICA offer you?
We make a point of being able to offer you relevant work experience and to give you a taste of what a career in the translation industry entails. In addition to interesting and challenging work tasks, you will receive a thorough introduction and continuous training by our experienced employees. You will also be trained in memoQ, memsource, XTM and SDL Trados Studio, the market leading CAT tools in the industry, which you will work with daily.
In addition, you will be working in a young and vibrant working environment with good opportunities to get involved in many interesting and exciting tasks.
Who should apply?
We prioritise translation and language students whose focus is on the English language. You must be able to speak and write fluent English. You can apply at any point in your course of study.
Requirements
It is a minimum requirement that you have familiarised yourself with the common grammar and spelling rules of your mother tongue and the additional language(s) you have studied.
