Translation
The difference between Google Translate, a bilingual person, and a professional translator
Google Translate:
Can be a fantastic tool to chat with people around the world on social media.
However, it still has a long way to go.
You wouldn’t want to stake your important documents or your business reputation on it.
Bilingual People:
Many companies hire bilingual people which is especially helpful in communicating with clients.
Translation, however, is a skill that requires far more preparation, knowledge, and training and is a professional craft.
Companies spend vast resources to fine-tune their original message. Not every person with two hands can play the violin. Likewise, many bilingual personnel are not skilled translators.
Professional Translators:
Professional translators are dedicate, highly skilled and proficient at their art.
ATA certified translators for instance have proven their skill by passing a very rigorous test.
For every specific industry, there can be found qualified translators knowledgeable in that field.
Although professionals do require an investment, they provide value by having your new target audience find you instead of your competition.
Cheap labor isn’t skilled; skilled labor isn’t cheap.

The difference between an interpreter and a translator
Translators write.
Shortly after humankind began to speak, they began to write.
Diplomacy and trade documents require competent translation.
Evidence in court must be translated in order to determine a just decision.
Written medical instructions are useless if a patient can’t read them, requiring the need of a skilled translator.
Interpreters speak.
For as long as mankind has spoken multiple languages, interpreters have existed.
They have been present for peace treaties among nations and have always been essential for trade.
Interpreters are necessary for due process in court and have aided medical professionals in saving many lives.
Both interpreting and translation are beautiful and noble sister professions!
