Interpreters and Translators - Main Interpreters and Translators Interpreters and translators express in one language what has been said, signed, or written in another language.
Interpreters convert one spoken language into another.
Some interpret while people are talking. This technique is called simultaneous interpretation. In this type of interpretation, interpreters do not begin speaking immediately. First they must understand the general meaning of the sentence. Once they understand the sentence, interpreters speak.
