We would like to know what is necessary to go to China as translators and how much we would be paid and by whom. Do we need a degree, and would the sponsors pay the transportation costs?

I am not sure if you mean translator or ESL Teacher.If you can speak Mandarin and/or Cantonese , there are lots of jobs. However if you mean English Teacher, you need a minimum of an ESL, or TESOL certificate, which can be done at many private schools in your country, and even on line.You could complete this in a month if you worked hard.Bachelor degrees are sometimes asked for, and many Teachers buy them on line, I believe, from the US.Quite honestly, the Locals do not know the difference.So if you are dedicated and resourceful, and want to work here, surf the net under ESL jobs.
Guy in China.
PS: beware of private employment agents if you just turn up here without ESL cert.Do not pay any money upfront.Universities and middle schools are the best bet to try. They are so short on teachers now, as school has begun, and not enough teachers to go around. Most will reimburse air fare after 1 yr contract.You can come, if you have a firm job offer, on a visitors visa, and most schools will get a work one for you at their cost, and give you free accommodation,meals and utilities.Pay rates vary from 4,500-8,000 yuan a month. Divide by 8 for US $. Living is so cheap, and you will be able to save some $$$. Unfortunately I cannot put my email add. on here as I would be swamped with junk.Good luck!

You plan to translate Chinese <-> English? Are you talking about Mandarin, Cantonese, or other dialects? You didn't mention your proficiency level , which is clearly quite poor in English. Do you want to work as a simultaneous interpreter, or just translate written documents? Now that I have you shaking your heads in confusion, let me point out that to be an English teacher (which is what you want to be - not translators Doofus - you can show up in any big city and start work the same week with or without a degree. But without, you WILL be screwed for money. Check out teflwatch.com and read the horror stories.

Judging by your poor English,I suggest first you make up your mind as to whether you want to act as an interpreter or as a teacher.
