Translation Intern Programme

Hands-on experience in translation for young graduates

SDL offers graduate and post-graduate students in linguistics, modern languages and translation studies the opportunity to take part in a six-month work placement with a full localization training programme.

The programme takes place at SDL's Sheffield office in England. Intake occurs twice a year in April and October. Full-time employment in one of SDL's international offices is usually available for those who have performed well during their training.

Acceptance to the programme is subject to candidates successfully completing a translation test and availability of posts.

The scheme is open to students whose first language is French, German, Italian, Dutch, Euro Spanish, LA Spanish, and European Portuguese.

Before Completing the Translator Intern application form please see the FAQ for further information.

Please note that for the foreseeable future we are not running the Translation Intern Programme and are therefore not taking any applications. Information will be posted on this page when we resume the programme. Thank you for your interest.
