Difference between Translator and Interpreter

The translation is desk work where everything is taken in written form while interpreters manage translation orally. The concerned person for translation and interpretation should have good command over multiple languages. Many tourists visit India globally every year, and the interpreters get fatty income from such groups.

Criteria for Translation

The candidates should have fluency and command over at least two languages. You should have a flair for writing.  Graduation is a must to get admission to a good university and college.  For good translation, one must go into the content’s soul. It is also recommended to see the translation work of seniors and experts.

Job Opportunity in Translation

The package is well-nourished. One can get from Rs. 10 000 to 1 lakh. It depends upon experience, knowledge, understanding and sharp insight into the world’s latest happenings. Translators do the job not based on paragraphs or per page; they translate and charge per word. For example, for translation from English to German, the company charge Rs. 3/comment. The same things happen with other languages too.   The languages which are in huge demand are German, Japanese, and French.
