At present, the monthly income of senior translators in China is basically not less than 10 thousand. Generally concentrated in practitioners with at least 6 years of work experience.

The monthly income of intermediate translators is 7000- 15000 yuan/month, which looks optimistic.

Senior translator 15000+/ month (CATTI 1 or equivalent, generally working for more than 8 years, equivalent to the level of associate professor of translation), the monthly income of interpreters at the same level will increase by 50% or even double.

Extended data:

Translation titles are obtained through certification, which does not represent professional experience, but simply shows the translation level.

It should be noted that the common "translator" level in non-standard certification management is actually only the standard of ordinary translators in the definition of standardized translators, which is far from the standard translators in standardized certification.

Translator standardization certification is initiated and sponsored by China Translator Registration Management Association (CTRMA). The association is the authoritative organization for professional competence certification of practitioners in the translation industry in China, and manages the standardized certification, registration and filing of translators at all levels.

Translator certification is an annual certification, which only represents the current level of Certification staff. You can check the effectiveness of standardized certification such as "Translator" online in official website, China Translator Registration Management Association, and conduct annual inspection online.
