Translation

Translation is such a strange state between craft and art. On the one hand - this craft, which is not so easy to learn. To become a translator must be at least five, seven years, a lot of work - continually to translate and even thinking about it, or causing to be printed: you need a lot of hard and continuous work.

Interpreter

Interpreters convert spoken or sign language statements from one language to another. Interpreting involves listening to, understanding and memorising content in the original 'source' language, then reproducing statements, questions and speeches in a different 'target' language. This is often done in only one direction, normally into the interpreter's native language, but may be on a two-way basis.

Interpreters facilitate effective communication between clients in the following settings:

·         large conferences and formal meetings;

·         business functions such as smaller meetings, exhibitions and product launches;

·         criminal justice proceedings, known as public service interpreting or PSI, including police and probation service interviews, court hearings, solicitor interviews, arbitration hearings and immigration tribunals;

·         community-based events and assignments within the education, health and social services sectors.
