Best Answer

You don`t have to be raised bilingual in order to become a translator, though it would help for obvious reasons. Many people start learning languages later on in life, and while it is a task coming easier to younger people, many still succeed quiet impressively. I would think, a 12 grade level in either language would be a good start.
