Hi, Alexander!

01 ноя 21 11:21, Alexander Koryagin -> Stas Mishchenkov:

 ak>>> please, I am a translator."
 SM>> Should it be "an interpreter"?

 AK> I believe both words are correct, but they have a bit different meaning.

 AK> If you interpret a phrase or something you actually explain it. For
 AK> instance, we can interpret the events in Ukraine, according to our point
 AK> of view.

This is the job of an interpreter.

 AK> If you translate you take one form of something and change it into
 AK> another form.

Often this is not enough to understand the translation.

 AK> Some people tell that an interpreter is a person who works with the
 AK> spoken word, whereas a translator works with the written word. But it
 AK> IMHO sounds funny because of course an interpreter can translate a
 AK> written text too.

;)

Have nice nights.
