I'm not really finding anything and even American Translator Association is a little iffy. Because I saw this on their wiki
"The ATA currently offers certification exams in the following language pairs:[6]
Into English from Arabic, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
From English into Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Macedonian, Polis... See more I'm not really finding anything and even American Translator Association is a little iffy. Because I saw this on their wiki

I understand there're many international and regional associations/unions which may provide extra credentials, titles, publicity, and socialization, yet I can't help wondering how they are really useful for a freelancer -- one working freely rather than being permanently employed or associated.
Of course, all colleagues--especially with similar specialization--are business rivals, let alone trade unions and associations or even agencies federations.

Furthermore, I already know decent specialists and worthy clients, and anytime I can choose anything to my liking without restrictions or agenda.
Therefore, I can see no use in translation associations for freelancers, yet what might be your goal? Or why not organize your own union?

| No Korean certification at present | Nov 21, 2018 |
The ATA does not currently offer certification into or out of Korean. The ATA develops a language-specific certification program based on demand (and availability of sufficiently experienced graders), so presumably there is not currently sufficient demand to establish certification for Korean, even though there is an ATA Korean division.

The ATA certification exam is generally a demanding test of a translator's language skills. I passed the exam myself earlier this year (German->English), and even though I have 30 years of professional translation experience, I still found it a challenging (and interesting) test of my translation skills. The pass rate for German is around 20%, and considerably lower for some other languages (e.g., Spanish).
