Traineeships for translation interns at the European Commission (starting 1 March)

Charlemagne and LexDG Translation offers a small number of traineeships each year. These last five months and are open to graduates looking to gain some professional translation experience within the European institutions. The linguistic and academic requirements are the same as for permanent translators. Regrettably, because of the limited number of places, we cannot take all applicants.

Tasks

Trainees are usually assigned to a translation unit made up of translators with the same mother tongue or main language. As a trainee you do the same work as staff colleagues — translating into your mother tongue* from at least two official EU languages. Your work is revised by experienced senior staff. In some cases you may be assigned to one of DG Translation’s administrative units.

Salary

Trainees receive a grant of € 1,071.19 per month. [Updated January 2011]

When?

Commission traineeships run for five months from 1 March and 1 October every year.

Basic requirements

You must:
  • hold a full university-level degree and
  • be able to translate into your mother tongue or main language* from two EU official languages (one of which must be French, English or German)
You are not eligible to apply if you have already completed an EU traineeship lasting more than six weeks elsewhere.

Apply now

If you meet the requirements above, fill out the online trainee application on the Traineeships Office website. The various stages of the procedure are clearly set out there.
The deadlines for applications are:
  • 1 September for traineeships starting in March
  • 31 January for traineeships starting in October.

Cum schimbă limba pe care o vorbeşti lucrurile pe care le vezi? Lingviştii văd lumea diferit

Dacă doi oameni s-ar uita la acelaşi obiect, ei vor vedea lucruri cu totul diferite. Potrivit unui nou studiu realizat de cercetătorii de la Universitatea Johns Hopkins, familiarizarea unei persoane cu un obiect, în special, cu literele alfabetului, va influenţa trăsăturile pe care le observă. Studiind modurile diferite prin care oamenii percep un alfabet, cercetătorii au descoperit că expertiza ajută la sortarea caracteristicilor neînsemnate, lăsând novicii să privească literele ca fiind ceva mai complex. Oamenii de ştiinţă de la Universitatea Johns Hopkins au analizat răspunsurile a 50 de participanţi care au fost rugaţi să stabilească dacă perechile de litere arabe erau diferite sau identice. Participanţii au fost repartizaţi în grupuri a câte 50 de persoane, dintre care 25 erau experţi în arabă, iar alţi 25 nu cunoşteau limba. Cercetătorii au arătat participanţilor 2.000 de perechi de litere, măsurând viteza de răspuns ...

Man Booker prize 2015 longlist: let the 'posh bingo' begin

At midday on Wednesday, the opening list of runners and riders for Britain’s leading books prize is unleashed on the reading world. Who will it be? Who will it be? With less than 24 hours to go before the longlist is announced, we’re starting to wonder who’ll make up this year’s Man Booker dozen – even though offering predictions is, in this game of “posh bingo”, as Julian Barnes put it, a bit like filling in your card before the numbers have been called. In the second year that American authors have been eligible, one obvious contender is Hanya Yanagihara ’s epic tearjerker about love, friendship and the effects of childhood abuse: A Little Life is hot off presses in the UK and currently consuming readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Other US novels to look out for include Marilynne Robinson’s Lila, the third in her Gilead series, published to ecstatic reviews last November ; a strong debut from Atticus Lish exploring poverty and hard graft in an unforgiving post-cra...
