Interpreting & Translating

Interpreting & Translating is about being able to 'move' successfully between languages.

Interpreting is about facilitating communication, usually in spoken form, from one language into its equivalent in another language.

Translating is about communicating the meaning of a text in a source-language by means of an equivalent target-language text.

This area involves knowing two or more languages well enough to be able to move between them, and also learning about how languages work.
