You can get into a translation from pretty much any degree really, so long as you have the languages. There are a few schools around offering postgrad translation courses, I don't know how anyone manages to do the job without doing the school or lots and lots of traineeing, frankly, it's really rather tough. Ideally you need to know two foreign languages to do most of the courses, though generally you only translate into two of them. (IE. an active (written) use of your B language and passive (reading) use of your C language)
