Translators are professional communicators who transpose a written text from one language into another and convey its content as faithfully as possible.
By virtue of their training, translators are also qualified to write original material, edit texts and produce creative adaptations.
They must have an excellent knowledge of the source language and a mastery of the target language. Translators generally translate from their second or third language into their mother tongue.
There are several types of translation:
- Administrative
- Legal
- Literary
- Promotional
- Commercial
- Scientific
- Technical, etc.
