The ATA will send you its free start-up kit for beginners on request, Getting Started: A Newcomer’s Guide to Translation and Interpretation (http://www.atanet.org), along with its client education brochure Translation, Getting it Right, which is also available online. The US Department of Labor has written up a fairly comprehensive overview of the different types of careers possible in translation. You can download it at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos175.htm. If you are interested in literary translation, contact the American Literary Translators Association directly at http://www.utdallas.edu/alta/.
