In the translation and interpreting world, people frequently use the word interpreter to refer to a person who interprets with spoken translations, and and use the word translator to signify a person who translates with written translations. Translators will work with word forms in the text while interpreters will work to translate live conversations. Whether translating or interpreting, the ultimate goal is to convert the language from the source language to the target language so that both speakers and listeners engage in a conversation to understand each other, listen and make decisions together.
Translators and interpreters must be equipped with all vital skills: foreign language proficiency, ability to use language flexibly and logically, professional knowledge, and research, analysis, and synthesis capability.
English-Vietnamese bilingual translation and interpreting is not a simple and effortless job for the Vietnamese, even though English is one of the most popular languages in the world. Reality indicates that numerous people are fluent in both languages but still make basic mistakes in English translation.
Many learners have mastery of grammar and vocabulary but cannot smoothly translate a paragraph into Vietnamese and vice versa from Vietnamese to English. That is very understandable as they fail to grasp the translation approach. Like other skills, translation and interpreting can also be fostered and cultivated if learners are sufficiently passionate and persistent to absorb and practice consistently.
