Dear [신청자 이름],

Thanks so much for registering to be a TED translator and requesting your first talk. We're eager to get you started! But we have a few questions for you first. As you know, TED doesn't require translators to have formal language or translation skills. We do however, ask that you be fluently bilingual. It's so important that your language skills gives you the ability to faithfully translate the words of speakers, capturing not only the vocabulary, but also the tone, style and personality. TED speakers are at the edge of their fields, and therefore the edge of language. Being current, as well as fluent, is key.

So the following questions are for you, as much as us. They provide us a way to gauge your experience, knowledge and fluidity with both English and the language into which you're translating. We require these answers for translators in languages that are new to TED, and for which we have neither in-house knowledge nor a stable of volunteer translators.

1) What language do you want to translate into?
2) Is this your native language? If not, how and where did you learn it?
3) How often do you speak this language? Do you use it professionally, personally, or both?
4) How often do you read in this language? Do you read news? Novels? Personal correspondence?
5) How often do you write in this language?
6) If English is not your first language, how and where did you learn it? How often do you speak, write and/or read English?
7) Do you have other colleagues, family or friends who can assist you on the translation of tricky or culturally-specific words and phrases?
8) What is your profession?
9) Why do you want to translate for TED?
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions, and for volunteering for the TED Open Translation Project!
