What is the difference between a translator and an interpreter?
​
An interpreter converts spoken or signed language from one language into another. Interpreters can work in person, over the phone, or using live chat software. Interpreters must have great communication skills and must be fluent in speaking two or more languages. The range of skills interpreters need goes beyond what is mentioned here.
