So you are a language translator who would like to improve his/her translation skills. No? Then what are you doing, reading a language translation blog post that carries “Bettering your langauge translation skills” as its title. 
Now let’s get to the serious stuff. I would try to give you the most effective tips that would help you improve your language translation skills taking the least possible space and time. This would help you digest all facts right away and you can refer to them frequently as well.
Many, or most of them might seem to be quite obvious but then there are only so many ways to success, most of which are quite obvious, but are never followed. So here we go –
Take language classes – You might believe that your language translation skills are adequate. But friend, there’s always room for improvement, and there’s always something more to learn. So take some time out of your schedule for language classes, preferably on your target language. And if you want to go a step further and shine, add writing and editing classes to your mission as well.
Survey the Masters – The best people to learn from are the ones who are already doing a great job. And unless you are god there is bound to be someone (probably many more) who is better at your job than you are. So what are you waiting for? Get your hands on their work and go through them! Study their translations to find out what makes them tick.
Monitor the Translation Industry – You are working in the language translation industry and you would be oblivious of your industry only when you have given up on your cause, or dead. Know Thy Industry! Read translation industry publications, join translators’ organization, attend conferences, go the whole hog to be aware of the pulse of the translation industry.
Just three tips you say? Try following them religiously and then we will talk!
