A language is a system of communication in speech and writing that is used by people of a particular country. It's a particular style of speaking or writing.According to infoplease.com there are about 6,500 spoken languages in the world. These languages are spoken right from the medieval period down to the western world today. With languages, communication becomes meaningful and resourceful.

2. Translation-What About It? Translation is the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language and a person that does that is a translator. Languages become useful for international purposes when translation comes into play. Fifty-eight thousand people were employed as translators and interpreters in 2010. They worked in professional, scientific and technical services; educational services and healthcare and social services. Almost a quarter of them were self-employed.

3. Educational Requirements: In addition to specialize training in interpreting and translating, those who want to enter this occupation must be fluent in at least two languages-the ones they want to interpret or translate to or from. Interpreters and translators, in addition to language fluency, must have knowledge about the cultures related to the speakers of those languages. A good way to acquire this knowledge is through travel to the countries in which those languages are spoken. Reading extensively, on a variety of subjects, in both languages is also helpful.

4. Advancement Opportunities: As a translator or interpreter gains experience, he or she may take on more difficult or prestigious assignments, or even start his or her own business. One might opt to become certified in order to demonstrate proficiency in this field. Professionals responsible for converting information from one language to another, have their work cut out for them. Interpreters work with spoken language, as well as sign language, while translators' purview is the written word. To convert information from one language (the source) to another (the target), these professionals must use their knowledge of the languages, cultures and subject matter.
