Seemingly, the only difference between interpretation and translation is in the form in which the message is being delivered from one language into another: translators do it in writing, while interpreters provide “instantaneous oral” reformulation. However, the differences in skill sets, personal traits, aptitudes, and working environments are significant. In this presentation, we will discuss professional characteristics of a competent interpreter, modes of interpretation, areas of specialization, and training options for aspiring interpreters. Attendees will be offered a brief aptitude test in the language-neutral format.
