Private investors in the capital Cameroon have just opened an educational institute that will train professional translators.
Many Cameroonians think that translation is one of the most creative and lucrative businesses. The country is both French and English speaking and, for that reason, translation is everywhere.
Yaounde is host to international organisations, banks, insurance companies, para statals, embassies, law firms, oil companies, NGOs and many other agencies, which all need translation and services.
