Translation? Or Interpretation?
What is the difference?

What do translators do?

Facilitate written communication, in all fields and domainsfrom anywhere with a laptop and an internet connection!
Beyond language transfer, translation is a cognitive experience of alterity, a negotiation of the foreign.

In which fields do translators work?

Scientific and technical Business and economic Court and legal Health and medical Literary (literature, biographies, self-help bookseverything!) Subtitling and dubbing

What types of work do translators do?

Translation Editing Post-editing Terminology management Localization Project management Cultural consultation for businesses and governments

What is localization?
Localization is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local look-and-feel.

What makes a good translator?

Linguistic and cultural competency in BOTH A + B language Time spent living in countries where languages spoken Excellent analytical skills General knowledge and intellectual curiosity Cross-cultural and interpersonal skills Adaptability

What do interpreters do?

Facilitate oral communication across
languages in consecutive and

simultaneous modes, in person or

remotely

Consecutive Interpretation
In consecutive, the interpreter waits for the speaker to finish a sentence or an idea, and then renders the speaker's words into the target language. Generally speaking, the more formal the setting, the longer the segments should be. Interpreters are trained in special note-taking and memory techniques that enable them to render passages as long as 6-8 minutes faithfully and accurately.

Consecutive Interpretation
Consecutive interpretation is best suited for situations involving a small number of people, or where a personal touch is required. Examples would be business meetings, negotiations, press conferences, interviews, teleconferences, or any type of one-on-one exchange

Simultaneous Interpretation
In simultaneous, the participants wear headphones, and the interpreter renders the speaker's words into the target language as he or she is speaking. Owing to the tremendous level of concentration required to perform this type of interpretation, simultaneous interpreters always work in teams of two.

Simultaneous Interpretation
Usually, the interpreters work in a soundproof booth that enables everyone involved to focus on their work without the distraction of hearing another language. Because this mode of interpreting saves time, it is preferred for conferences and meetings in which a great deal of information has to be conveyed. The use of audio equipment also means that there is no limit to the number of people who can participate.

Where do interpreters work?

International conventions and congresses US State Department and Foreign Ministries European Parliament United Nations Medical Centers Judicial and extrajudicial proceedings Local and international businesses and corporations

What makes a good interpreter?
