My Institute Experience
Picture of Pamela  Davis 
Before coming to the Monterey Institute, I worked with health professionals from Africa and became interested in public health and development. As a result, I have developed a specialty knowledge in medical translation/ interpretation. The superior training and guidance I received at Monterey allows me to do freelance translation and interpretation on the side, as my main occupation, or use my translation skills in an international development program like Wellstart. I like having the flexibility of these options.

MA in Translation/Localization Management


The MATLM degree is organized around three axes of training: translation, technology, and business management. The translation track will develop students’ translation skills, as well as their language and cultural proficiency, through core courses offered, as well as elective courses from the other schools at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.

The technical courses developed at the Monterey Institute will cover translation technology, software and web site localization, translation automation, processes standardization, IT/workflow strategies, and project management tools. Tools used in class include Alchemy Catalyst, Passolo, SDLX and TRADOS, Star Transit and Workflow. Finally, the business track will cover key business management areas, such as principles of project management, multilingual marketing, managerial economics, product development, and international business strategy in courses offered by the School of International Policy and Management.

To complement the coursework, students will also have the opportunity to work on localization projects through internships and other career events offered through the Career Management Office. Companies offering internships and participating in training events at the Institute include CISCO, Hewlett-Packard, Lionbridge Technologies, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Seagate Technology.
