How much would a translator earn in Japan? -

Does anyone know how much the average wage for a Japanese translator in Japan is? I m not asking because I want to go over there and work. I need to know because for school. Direction to English sources would be wonderful.

Translation work in Japan is plentiful. Full time pay is based on length of experience, level of ability and area(s) of expertise. I am giving you a link to a list of open positions in this field. Salaries range from 4.5 million yen per year to (approx. US$42,721.87) to 10 million yen per year (approx. US$94,968.99).

It s difficult to take an average of translator job salary because that job is often irregular basis like only 1 month or 1 week. But if you want to know its average, maybe we can say between 3.5 and 5.5M yen for 1 year.

Ｅｎｇｌｉｓｈ is cheapest of all languages. Ｔｏｕｒｉｓｔs guide for Chinese are highest, approximate,from 200 to 250 us dollars per day now.

Just go to gaijinpot.com and see what they are offering. Five million yen a year would be typical for a full time translation job, but a lot of translators work piece rate so it s hard to say.
