Q: Translator, what to study?

My girlfriend wants to do some translation work, maybe in an international trade type of field...I dont personally have any trade related experience so dont really know what is are the best types of things to be teaching her...
She has bought some books but from what ive read of them they seem to be outdated and the English is them is some times poor at best...

What i really want is a website or a book/set of books which are good for learning about the topic relating to international trade or interpreting in this area.
I think her English level is generally quite high but as neither of us have a background in this we dont really know what to learn about it.

Thanks for your help!!!

Bumping five year old threads is a bit like bringing up events that happened in 1839 or 1938 to make a political statement - it must be something deeply ingrained in the Chinese psyche.

there are too many informations in internet, but the most improtment thing are experiences. since your both don't know any things about international trade . i suggest your girlfriend should join a international trade company frist. whateever the company is big or small, learing trade experiences is first thing to do. since your girlfriend have a good english skill, i think it is not difficult for her to find a company.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
