Frequently asked questions
I am a freelance translator working from home: is ATECO code 74.30.00 correct?
Yes. Translation of written texts and interpretation in any language — written or spoken — fall under 74.30.00. This includes sign language. It is the single code for both document translators and live interpreters.
I interpret at trade fairs and conferences and do not translate texts: do I need a different code?
No, interpretation is covered by the same 74.30.00 code alongside written translation. The classification does not separate interpreters from translators. If you teach a language to a group, however, the activity becomes training and shifts to division 85.
I translate website content and also adapt it graphically: do I stay on 74.30.00?
For translation alone, yes — it is 74.30.00. But if the predominant activity becomes creating and laying out web content, it falls under web page graphic design, 74.12.01. The code follows whichever activity generates the most revenue.
