There is a diversity of meaning from the word translation. It is an interesting article.

The article says at the end translators and interpreters can be neutral when they mediate between two sides without taking sides, they convey messages and render information 'faithfully' but at the same time translators and interpreters are considered suspicious because as bilingual they have access information in both languages, so they can give their...

I have read very interesting points of views from colleagues but what is the best way to work as a translator? Should we avoid some kinds of clients? What is the best way to handle with them? How to deal with poor texts and mistakes?

There are key factors that affect translation times:
1. How many words need to be translated?
2. Assumed translation speed per hour and per day.
3. Allow time for the translator to review his/her work.
4.Is there a second translator review?
Those factors should be taken in consideration when decides the best deadline between the client and the translator. -

This text gives us an idea the difference between translators and interpreters. We need to develop some skills in order to work with them: cultural knowledge, communication, writing, research, compute -assisted translation (CAT), active listening and organization.

A translator needs to have a specialization area, specific fields, such as law, medicine, technology or science. A focus on what the market needs, first analyze the market, then choose the subjects to specialize in, focus on what you like, choose the areas you are passionate about, then offer your expertise to the market.

I think a court interpreter has a huge responsibility. This professional is dealing with facts, it is important to provide an accurate and unbiased translation of one language to another in real time.

Those translators and interpreters who had lived some centuries ago, they were great heroes because they did their jobs with no modern resources. How they could work reading those handwritings so difficult? They did not have any tools to research such as internet or a computer to type. They should have had good skills as good memory to help them to interprete...

These tips are a good reflection. "Always think of translation as a complex task even when it looks very simple." That´s true! Even when I had to translate a simple sentence, I had to think what the best words were to translate that sentence! it has to make sense in another language!
We have to pay attention not only to the linguistic but also to the...
