Hi everyone,

I've been an in-house translator for the past 10 years, and doing freelance work as a part-time job. But now that I am planning to focus on my freelance work, I think that having a Diploma in Translation will help me be a better translator.

The problem is, my main working language includes Japanese. I've asked around, the classes offered locally are mostly for English>Malay translation. Does anyone know of any institution in Malaysia, or a reputable online course that can help me in getting my diploma for Japanese>English & Japanese>Malay language pair?

Your opinion is most welcome. Thank you in advance.

Kemahiran berbahasa pula mungkin memerlukan kursus yang lain pula.

Kalau tak silap saya, UM ada menawarkan kursus lanjutan dalam bidang penterjemahan. Saya pun kurang ingat. ITNM ada menawarkan kursus

Sekadar pandangan...
