Interpretation and Translation: What’s the Difference?
Everyone knows what language translation is; however, fewer know what language interpretation is.
The difference?
Interpretation = oral communication
Translation = written communication
Distinguishing between the two is important since each requires particular training, qualification, and best-practice methods. So somebody who is an excellent interpreter might not be qualified to be a translator and vice-versa.
Just some food for thought,
