Interpreter and Translator- What's the Difference?

An Interpreter is a specially trained professional who renders a message spoken in one language into a second language with consistency and accuracy, and who abides by the Interpreter Code of Ethics.

A Translator is a trained professional who can 'replace' a written document in one language with the written document in another language.

Both professions require, in addition to a high command of the native and a foreign language, different skills. Not every interpreter can be a translator, and the opposite is equally true. Moreover, not every bilingual person (i.e. person who speaks two languages) can be either an interpreter or a translator.

We do Certified and Notarized Translations required by:

Schools and Universities
Immigration and Naturalization Service
Foreign Adoptions
Courts, Driver License Bureaus, etc.

The Language Bank members translate almost any language into English and, in turn, English into many target languages. We are committed to provide high-quality service and maintain high standards selecting our translators. Please keep in mind that translating is a complicated process, and our usual turn-around time is 5 business days.
