Both interpreters and translators work as language mediators between two or more languages. However, the professions, and therefore also the specialist training requirements, differ considerably.
Interpreters usually translate the spoken word in the context of a live speech situation and must be capable of grasping what is being said very quickly and translating it orally.
Translators, on the other hand, usually work with text and deliver written translations, which gives them the chance to research the subject matter and correct the target text. Find out more about our range of specialist translation services.
