Post title: 2000 is minimum
I believe 2000 kanji is a minimum you should have mastered in order to do translations from/to Japanese, not to mention special qualifications a translator needs. Experience can sometimes substitute for translation education, but it should be vast i imagine.
I recommend you to study a specific field and, as it has been mentioned below, learn more hieroglyphs.
