For "more..... than he will say" you could read "more than he is willing to say" or "more than he is prepared to admit". Maybe this wording would make the meaning clearer to you.
I have two of them and I'm always surprised to hear about people who are unable to get enough translation work.
Even since the financial crisis started I have rarely been short of work

I would say that a real desire to become a translator, a positive attitude and hard work are very important.

Yes, the semi-specialised options you take are shown on the certificates.
I have two Dip Trans certificates, both of which show 'Science' and 'Technology' as semi-specialised options.
