What’s the difference between Translation and Interpretation? The short answer: The main difference between interpretation and translation is the medium: an interpreter provides verbal exchange, while a translator provides written documents. More detail: The training and skills of the translator and the interpreter are actually quite different. Translators must possess excellent writing skills. They use extensive libraries of dictionaries, electronic glossaries and reference materials to translate a written text into their target language. While translators often work in the peace and quiet of their office with books and papers, interpreters must interact directly with speakers of different languages in real-time. For this reason, interpreters must be fluent speakers of at least two languages, have the ability to verbally express ideas clearly and concisely in both languages, and be capable of split-second decision making without the aid of dictionaries. To determine the type of service you need, you will have to evaluate what form of communication is required. Verbal communication with Non-English language speakers requires the services of an interpreter. On the other hand, if your requirement is for a document translation of written text in a foreign language going into English (or vice versa), you will need the services of a translator.
