Abstract

‘If you have a degree in modern languages, you can translate. If you can translate, you can translate into a foreign language just as easily as you can translate from that language into your mother tongue. If you are a translator, you can also act as an interpreter.’ Most technical translators will agree that these are three of the most commonly held misconceptions about translation and translators.
