Translator careers at FÜD: jobs, applications and routes into the profession.
Experienced professional translator, student or career changer? This is the central careers hub for FÜD in Austria. Choose the route that fits your experience: apply for collaboration, explore an internship, or learn how to build the qualifications and subject expertise required for professional professional translation.
Speculative applications welcome · specialist fields rather than generalist promises · 70+ languages in numerous combinations
In short
One careers hub, three clear routes.
Start with your current situation, not with a generic job page. Experienced translators who already have a subject field can go directly to the application page. Students and career starters can first look at the internship route. If you are still deciding how to qualify or specialise, the guide to becoming a translator explains the main routes into the profession.
These pages are deliberately separated: the careers hub helps you choose; the application page explains collaboration and application requirements; the internship page focuses on first practical experience; and the profession guide covers qualifications, study and lateral entry.

Where should you start?
Your next step depends on what you already bring: professional translation experience, first practical experience, or a need to build the qualification and specialist profile first.

Working with FÜD
What the careers pages are designed to clarify.
Specialisation before generalism
FÜD's professional translation work is organised around subject competence. Your languages matter, but so does the field in which you can judge terminology, meaning and risk reliably.
Human responsibility remains explicit
CAT tools, translation memories, terminology resources and automated QA support professional work. The final responsibility for specialist and formally critical content remains assigned to qualified people.
