What is Translation?
Translation is the process of changing a written text from one language into another. A successful translation effectively communicates the message and meaning of the original text. A professional translator converts written texts into a new language. This can include anything from brochures and signs to websites and books.
Translators are typically experts in certain subjects or industries. This specialization gives them enough background knowledge to capture the meaning of a given text and translate it most accurately into the target language.
What is Interpretation?
Interpretation is the act of converting spoken words from one language to another in real-time, usually performed by a professional interpreter. Interpretation can take place in person, by telephone via over-the-phone interpretation (OPI), or through a video call.
