I don't get the question like everybody else; however, my interpretation would be something like "have you fulfilled your vows as a translator" (as if in religion), meaning have you fulfilled what you are supposed to do as a translator.

I always hope that I get paid as a translator.

Pay one's dues (slang): to earn certain rights, privileges, etc. as by having suffered in struggle.
So it might mean: did you have to struggle a lot to become a translator/interpreter?

sorry... I don't understand the question...
According Webster paper dictionary 1993 definition reported by Philippe (Pay one's dues (slang): to earn certain rights, privileges, etc. as by having suffered in struggle.
So it might mean: did you have to struggle a lot to become a translator/interpreter?) I would say no...
