DIFFERENCES

SIMILAITIES

Interpreting involves the act of speaking and explaining the meaning of something. Translation, on the other hand, implies the fact of transmitting the meaning in written form.

both the traudcicon and the interpretation have a language of original

both have a message and transmit it to a different language

interpretation is done on the spot and translation, on the other hand, takes place long after the text is created in the source language.

both the translator and the interpreter are professionals and require studies to do their job

The interpretation is not as faithful and exact as the translation.

both professions are used daily by millions of people

The use of metaphors, analogies and idiomatic expressions that are relevant to the target audience is difficult for both interpreters and translators.

Both take a lot of pressure and any mistake could be very serious

Interpreters must express themselves fluently in both the source and target languages. On the contrary, professional translators often translate in only one direction: into their mother tongue.
