Hi,
For guidance regarding applying for an exemption from registration please refer to notice 700/1 section 3.11 
Please note that supplies which are outside the scope due to place of supply rules are not the same as zero-rated supplies to which an exemption from registration normally applies.
Translation services would not normally be zero-rated supplies.
Section 2.4 provides examples of zero-rated supplies
 Thank you

Hi,
Businesses must start keeping records and accounting for VAT from the date they become liable to register.
It may be advisable to let your clients know VAT could be included in your invoices should you become VAT registered.
Guidance on when to register and what the effective date of registration may then be can be found in notice 700/1 section 4 
You would need to look at the tax point for the supply to determine whether it would be subject to VAT if this falls after your effective date of VAT registration.
Guidance on tax points can be found in notice 700 sections 14-15 
Thank you.
