Traineeships for Translators at European Central Bank

You will be part of the Language Services Division in the Directorate General Communications. We provide translation, editing, proofreading and language technology and terminology services in all EU languages, and offer advice on linguistic matters. Our work covers a wide range of texts for expert audiences and the general public, and includes translating multilingual content for our website to make the ECB’s work accessible to non-expert readers.

In your role as a trainee translator, you will be part of one of the Division’s three multilingual sections. We are responsible for communicating the ECB’s messages to over 300 million Europeans who do not have English as their native language. You will be the ECB’s voice in your language and will work closely with translators, language technologists, coordination assistants and experts from other ECB business areas.

The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply, irrespective of your gender, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or other characteristics.

Your Role
As a trainee translator you will:

translate (non-legal) texts from English into your mother tongue;
revise and proofread texts in your mother tongue;
help to identify, extract and compile terminology, particularly in the fields of economics and finance.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to use state-of-the-art language technology tools in your daily work and to gain insight into the work of language services in an EU institution. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
