They should be capable of integrating and applying their knowledge to text translation and interpretation, editing, and other related tasks, such as cultural mediation.

They could study specialised translation in one field of knowledge in depth: law, science and technology, literature, humanities, etc. Their multi-faceted training enables them to perform other roles in the multicultural, linguistic and literary sectors.
