Summary | A translation company based in London (Today Translation) is looking for a an emoji translator. The translator will have to understand and explain misunderstandings related to emoji communication, and establish "trends". Emojis are now as common as numbers and letters. However, they do not mean the same thing everywhere. For example, the BBC claims that the "goodbye emoji" can simply mean "goodbye" in English or French, but in China, it means "you are no longer my friend". Is emoji a new language? Even if they express emotion, they can't be called a language.
