Translation aims to convey the intended message and meaning of the original text, rather than focusing solely on exact word-for-word conversion.

Translation deals with written text, converting it from one language to another, while interpretation involves spoken language, facilitating communication between individuals who speak different languages.

Cultural context plays a vital role in translation, as words and phrases often carry cultural meanings and associations that can significantly alter their intended message.

Localization involves adapting the translated text to the target audience's cultural context, considering factors such as local customs, idioms, and preferences.

Translators face a combination of challenges, including understanding the source text correctly, conveying the intended meaning accurately, and dealing with cultural differences and nuances.

There are various types of translation, including literary translation (focusing on художественный literature), technical translation (dealing with specialized terminology), legal translation (handling legal documents), and many more.

Technology has significantly improved the speed and efficiency of translation, enabling translators to handle large volumes of text more quickly.

Accuracy in translation is crucial as it ensures that the translated text conveys the exact meaning of the original, prevents misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and maintains the integrity of the original text.

Translators work with written text, while interpreters work with spoken language. Translators need to be proficient in multiple languages, while interpreters need to be proficient in only one language. Translators have more time to complete their work, while interpreters work under pressure.

There are three main types of interpretation: simultaneous interpretation (interpreting while the speaker is still speaking), consecutive interpretation (interpreting after the speaker has finished speaking), and whispered interpretation (interpreting in a low voice to a small group of people).

Interpreters face a combination of challenges, including understanding the speaker's message accurately, conveying the message clearly and concisely, and working under pressure.

A good translator should be proficient in multiple languages, have excellent writing skills, and be culturally aware.

A good interpreter should have excellent listening skills, clear and concise speaking skills, and be culturally aware.
