Is this because translators don't get "credit" for translating, in addition
to not being paid well?  For instance, are translators also academics who
must publish research & theory in order to achieve (and now in the US
maintain) tenure?

I don't get paid to publish articles, and from what I understand, most
books don't pay all that well either.  Yet I write and publish to keep my
job, right?

If this is the case for translators, I can see why there would not be a
huge motivation to translate.

What field(s) does this kind of work fall into?

Debbie
