“After joining the Commission’s translation service as a trainee, I didn’t want to leave! I decided to participate in a translator competition and never looked back. Working with people who are equally passionate about languages and translation, hearing the linguistic diversity everywhere you go, being at the forefront of language technology, that is what I love about working here. Our translations help to bring the European project closer to its citizens, which I find very fulfilling and motivating. If you want to pursue a career in translation, there truly is no better place than the EU institutions.”
