The term “translator” is generally used to include interpreters and translators, but they are two different professions with different skills.
The main difference is the source of the message to be presented in another language.
You need an interpreter if you need someone to say or sign what you need to convey or understand in the other language. For example, interpreters work at a court proceedings or during a medical visits.
Interpreters work on the spot and need to be knowledge. They also need to be very comfortable with both languages and the topic of the appointment. Preparation is key, and scheduling in advance is an advantage.
You need a translator if you need someone to write what you need to convey or understand from the other language. For example, translators work with books, contracts, and websites.
Translators generally work in a computer, and need time to have a finished product. They have access to dictionaries and will provide an accurate translated document that will look similar to the original.
So now that you know what you need, make sure you schedule it and request an estimate with us.
