Learn French back to front and standing on your head, make sure that you have utterly perfect English, plus one other UN language. Then watch out for advertisements concerning the translators' competition exams, send off for and fill in boring forms, turn up, spend a day translating in a roomful of competitors either in London, Geneva or New York, and hope to be successful. (If you look upon the exam as a social encounter, you can make lifelong friendships there! )That's not all, either: there is a follow up interview.

I think you can just call them up cuz there are various ways and depending on what you want to be a translator for, the salary will be different. Of course, the more languages you know, the better.

hope you find the answer, because I'm gunning for the same job. English, Spanish, and German. I'm just studying Languages and international business, I have no idea where to go from there. Probably get an internship at some government agency. Good Luck!
