Less than two years before the Irish language’s derogation status is expected to expire in 2022, the European Commission is actively seeking 50 Irish-language translators.
According to a February 13, 2020 post on the European Union’s career page, the linguists will work from English into Irish and may be based in Brussels or in Grange, Ireland. Monthly salary is reported to be approximately EUR 4,500, and successful candidates will be offered four-year contracts, which can be renewed for a maximum period of up to two years.
Applicants must be EU citizens with a “perfect knowledge” of Irish and a “thorough knowledge” of English, as well as a university degree of at least three years in any discipline, translation-related or not.
