I Would Like To Learn More About How To Become A Translator And Interpreter.?

Hi,
I would like to learn more about how to become a translator and interpreter.
I have a degree in modern languages Portuguese/ English by the University of Faro/Algarve, Portugal. In the same course I had German, Spanish and Latin.
Please advise what I shall do in order to become certified in UK for translation. Basically our company wants to do translations and interpretations for individuals, local authorities, businesses, etc.
Is there any certificate, any authorized stamp that we have to use in order to be more professional and certified to do this work here in UK?
Where can I get an idea of the current prices charged by translators and interpreters?
Thank you very much and God Bless you abundantly.

What Are Portuguese Dentists Like And How Much Does Treatment Cost?

My boyfriend went to the dentist today in the UK and had two teeth out, he was supposed to have four but they had to perform some kind of surgery because the teeth wouldn’t come out. Ouch!
Anyway we are moving to the Algarve on Sunday for six months and he has to get the following treatment done there as he can’t get an appointment here;
1 tooth out
1 root canal (tooth can now be saved, it was supposed to come out)
2 fillings
Gums cleaned out
I am worried that it will cost a fortune, any ideas how much it will be and if there are discounts because of being in Europe?

Why Do People Look,crit & Stare, Like Hello Its Only A Vacation?

I am a muslim who has family that is quite religious. I have friends of all nationalities & colors.
A few of us had decided to make a holiday overseas and travel to quite a few countries internationally & doing everything the country/place has to offer & maybe not get enough sleep that you may need.
We were a group of guys & girls about 10-15 of us as good friends had went to quite a few places such as Cape Town (South Africa), New York, Miami,London, Orlando(disney), Paris, Disney-Paris, Algarve & Lisbon )portugal), Costa de Sol, Madrid,Barcelona,amsterdam,Switzerland and Turkey/Istanbul.
We had quite a blast and had little time to sleep to maximize our 2month trip around. We had a really good time & at some points had people look at us really weird (mainly orthodox muslims & some others) because we were traveling and it was a group of friends. I can understand why Muslims would look,because they think that it is ‘wrong’ & ‘against the law’. What is so wrong with a bunch of friends taking time to travel together & have a good time overseas?

Why Do The Police In The Maddy Case In Portugal Say Stupid Stuff Like ….?

“In a statement police said on Sunday that they had widened their search to nine miles (15km) from the Algarve village of Praia da Luz and were working closely with Interpol and Europol.”
So if the kidnapper is 10 miles away (and in a car at 30 mile an hour would take him 20 minutes), hes perfectly safe?
What a daft thing to say.

Is This Man Ever Going To Act Like A Human Being?

Newest blog. And the coldest one yet. And before the Pro,s jump on me, I make no excuses for posting it. Im angry for Madeleine. She deserves better.
“Latest Update - Gerry’s Blog/Diary
Day 57 - 29/06/2007
Early rise this morning dropping off and picking up good friends from the airport. One of our friends from Amsterdam, who has been actively campaigning to publicise Madeleines disappearance, dropped in to see us for a couple of hours since he is on a golfing trip in the Algarve.
Our friends brought back my wallet which had been returned, needless to say minus the Sterling, although all my cards and €30 were still in it! It is good to have my driving license back and one or two other important things. ”
MORE visits from Friends, MORE mention of money, MORE mention of “important things” that ARE NOT Madeleine.
ONE mention of Madeleine. And only in the context of The Fund.
