Discover How To Become a Interpreter and Translator
Interpreters and Translators convert information from one language into another language. Interpreters work in spoken or sign language; translators work in written language. Interpreters and translators aid communication by converting messages or text from one language into another language. Although some people do both, interpreting and translating are different professions: interpreters work with spoken communication, and translators work with written communication. Interpreters convert information from one spoken language into another—or, in the case of sign language interpreters, between spoken language and sign language. The goal of an interpreter is to have people hear the interpretation as if it were the original language. Interpreters usually must be fluent speakers or signers of both languages, because they communicate back and forth among people who do not share a common language. Translators convert written materials from one language into another language. The goal of a translator is to have people read the translation as if it were the original written material. To do that, the translator must be able to write in a way that maintains or duplicates the structure and style of the original text while keeping the ideas and facts of the original material accurate. Translators must properly transmit any cultural references, including slang, and other expressions that do not translate literally. Translators must read the original language fluently. They usually translate into their native language. An Interpreter and translator needs to be knowledgeable of the content, structure, spelling, and composition of a language as well as it’s grammar, pronunciation, meanings, and rules of composition. An interpreter and translator must have active listening skills and speaking skills in order to properly and clearly communicate to others. They use their skills in reading comprehension, writing, and instructing others. They also maintain cooperative and working relationships with others.
