Healthcare Question:
Can you please explain the difference between interpretation and translation?
Answer:
In popular usage, the terms "translator" and "translation" are frequently used for conversion of either oral OR written communications. However, within the language professions, translation is distinguished from interpreting according to whether the message is produced orally (interpreting) or in writing (translation).
