Internships in Los Angeles, United States

IGS has placed students in some of the world’s most exciting museums. Our internship placements typically fall into two categories: working on the floor or conducting research and marketing behind the scenes. Floor work includes assisting the docent in the setup and interpretation of current exhibits and galleries. This may include constructing backdrops and computer modeling. Once the exhibit is in place, you are asked to learn the history of the showcased items and share your knowledge with the visiting public. Behind-the-scenes work may include conducting original research on life histories or local historical events. This may include online research and library visits. Likewise, you may be asked to conduct interviews in the community and record knowledge that is in danger of being lost forever. Duties are usually associated with the following: Set up exhibits Conduct online research Interpret for the public Interview local residents Write for the museum’s website Social media outreach

The role of a Translation Intern involves performing various tasks, including learning a multitude of software programs: Trados, DTP Software (such as InDesign and Adobe), Sage Accounting, our proprietary database of translators, and other technical components. Interns also work with various departments within the company, as well as with external contacts such as clients, translators, and DTP professionals. They get a wide exposure to the inner workings of Project Management for a multitude of projects with unique requirements. The program ensures that interns understand how to manage projects from A to Z. This starts with analysis, which includes Word Counts, formatting, and Desktop Publishing requirements, and understanding specific instructions from clients. Once a project is approved, they go through the entire development process, entering it into the system, translator and DTP selection, following up with linguists and DTP specialists, negotiating as needed with them, and providing appropriate instructions for each job, through completion.
