If one intends to work in the certified translation industry of Singapore, there may be some feelings of trepidation. It’s one thing to learn and practice with another language in one’s own time or to have a mother tongue that one uses somewhat frequently, but it becomes another thing entirely if one wishes to turn that into a career. When one’s income and professional reputation is on the line, the pressure to excel can be a worrying load on one’s mind. Must a translator in Singapore be completely fluent in a language to be successful? How can one have the entire vocabulary of one language on-hand and ready to be used with any kind of document? Fortunately, those who work to provide a translation service will also discover certain patterns in the documents they are hired to translate, and that certain types of documents will be prevalent.

For instance, imagine a certified translation company in Singapore famous for providing PR application translations, i.e. translating documents required for a PR application. In turn, the documents that a PR application require are very typically those that prove a person’s identity as genuine, and are normally birth certificates and educational certificates. If one were to focus on key words or phrases found in such documents, such as “… born in Country X in Year Y…” or “… graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in…”, then would have familiarized themselves with a major chunk of the necessary vocabulary for this particular task.

Similarly, a translation company (or an independent provider of certified document translation services in Singapore) may specialize specifically in legal translation services, which of course involve official legal documents. Whether they are documents involving businesses or marriages, all of them must follow certain formats for whatever country they originate from, and also frequently rely on specific legal terms.A translator may already be familiar with them if they have studied law, or a translator may become familiarized with them through work as they appear over and over in the many legal documents they will encounter. In either case, the formats these documents adhere to can also be help translators more quickly process these documents.

It is not a guarantee that one might encounter these common types of documents, and depending on how global trends shape the needs of the public or what industries fade and flourish, new types of documents might become even more common sights in the translation industry. Whether that does or does not happen, it is generally preferable for a certified translation professional in Singapore to remain adaptable to the shifting whims of the world.
