I need some assistance about my research about how translation works as a profession in New Zealand - specifically: the laws and regulations about the translation companies or translators, translation costs and payments, and also the translation/translators chambers and associations (I've found NZSTI, but couldn't sign up.)?
I am also searching for the answers of questions such as what is needed to be called as a translator legally, or is something legally needed; what are the conditions required to run a translation company; is there a standart contract; are the coasts are determined according to character or line or page, and if it is line or page what is the definition of one line/page.
Thanks in advance...

Translation in New Zealand
May 18, 2010
Hi there!
You can basically set up business as a translator as you please. If you've got your own clients already - good. You may get additional work depending on your marketing skills and the quality of your translations. There is a lack of translators for some languages.
To do certified translations, however, you will need to be a full member with the NZSTI, which you can only become if you have a full qualification/degree as a translator. You will need to supply certified copies of your translating degree and your CV. They are quite strict with that, which - frankly - is good, since it protects the quality of certified translations in New Zealand to a certain extent.
I hope this answers your questions.
Cheers!
Sabine
