TRANSLATION vs INTERPRETATION
Translation is the operation which consists in rendering
a written source text into a different language. The
Interpreter, on the other hand, translates spoken words
verblly into a foreign language. In essence, translators
do it in writing, interpreters verbally.
Please be aware that
translating large amounts of
English text on a website into
German will increase the
volume and length of the
text.
The German language has
longer words, different
sentencing, different
expressions, etc. This can
become a problem on a web
page with limited space.
Translations should only be
done by people who speak
both languages on a native
level. Your translated text will
reflect on your business!
Text can also not just be
translated word for word into a
foreign language, so beware
of computer translations. Just
read what a Skandinavian
vacuum manufacturer had
used as ad slogan in English:
“Our vacuums really suck!”
Well, it’s basically correct, but
you see what I mean. :)
