There are more aspects to what the professional English to Hindi translator should be like. If any of them is omitted then the translation is endangered and the business you are running can also damage its image.

A rule of hiring should be that the future employee has to know some facts and be prepared for them: where and why the English to Hindi translator will be working, where the language will be used and in what context and to what purpose. Answering these requirements would mean that the English to Hindi translator is prepared to represent a company that needs quality services. A well built business relationship with clients that have a different cultural background can very easily be destroyed by the bad work of the English to Hindi translator or interpreter that doesn't offer tailored services according to its clients.

Hindi is the official language of India and it is spoken by 480 million natives. Because it is a widely spoken language (about 800 million people speak it in the world) and because it has many dialects with many different meanings, not any English to Hindi translator will do. India also has a very rich spiritual life with a special way of expression. An English to Hindi translator has to have cultural awareness and be culturally communicative, be opened to think free. The English to Hindi translator has to combine skill with knowledge of history, customs, taboos, values and etiquettes. A simple mistake of the English to Hindi translator made because of the lack of information about cultural dos and don'ts can ruin months, even years of hard work.

Even if one might think that an only an interpreter should know these things, not the English to Hindi translator, just take a moment and think about a translated letter addressed to a client who speaks Hindi. Such a letter has to have certain greetings, negotiation techniques and a special structure; otherwise the communication might not be effective.

Dealing with documents, electronic materials and texts means the English to Hindi translator has to have linguistic knowledge. A diploma from a college, university or any professional institution can offer certainty to an employer, but having a diploma doesn't necessarily mean that the English to Hindi translator is a professional. The English to Hindi translator has to be talented as well. If the English to Hindi translator that doesn't have the flavor of the languages he works with can not do a good job.

The definition of the term "translation" implies the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language and the production of a new text, similar as best as possible to the original one, in another language. This similarity ought to be "equivalence" and this is where the talent of the English to Hindi translator can be seen. If the English to Hindi translator can not pass the cultural barriers then the authenticity of the translation can be compromised. This is an issue that concerns because, unless the English to Hindi translator can overcome the status of outsider and can familiarize with the many aspects of religious, social and political life, the challenging task of translation can suffer slippage.

For best results, the company dealing with the English to Hindi translator, should state exactly what they want from their employees and analyze the job applications carefully. All of the above mentioned details should be taken into consideration when hiring such a translator.
