Please check my English!! I think there are two important point to be a translater.

First, translating needs to change other language to another language without changing the meaning of its sentence. Therefore, translater needs feeling of language. Feeling of language mean the power of thinking other languages at the side of the language, not the side of foreign language.

Second, translating needs to have much knowledge, history, vocabulary, trend, and so on. So translater have to study hard to translate even if he have to transrate only one sentence.

There are two primary factors to be a translator.

First, since translating from a language to another language must not change any original meaning of its sentence, the feeling of language is a crucial requirement for a translator. Feeling of language means the power of thinking other languages at the side of the language, not the side of foreign language. (Since I'm not sure about this part, I recommend you read this amazing article: http://yosukeyanase.blogspot.com/2011/09/feeling-of-language-as-sign-of.html)

A translator also should be knowledgeable in many areas. He or she should have some basic knowledge of history, society, science, just to name a few.

Therefore, to be a translator is not easy.
