First of all she should study "Theory of translation", which is the basic course at any Translation departments. Its not enough just to speak both languages fluently, you also have to know the rules of translation. Translation itself is a very complicated process. You must take into account a number of constraints, including context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, their idioms and so on!
Getting an education in this sphere would be the best choice!

There are different processes depending on the type of translator; she could become a literary translator working for a publishing company, and translate books, or become a personal translator and translate oral conversations with political leaders, or a translating narrator of a television documentary.

I'm a bilingual Spanish and English speaker but I can also speak fluent French and Italian and a bit of German.

She may speak these languages perfectly, but has she got the academic qualifications in them? If not, she will struggle. I have a friend in the same position and she gave up after constant knock backs.
