    Bilinguals are (NOT) translators/interpreters

    Dr. Colina mentioned that just because a person is bilingual, it does not mean they can be interpreters or translators because it does not mean they will be able to adjust to different situations. Adding on to that, an interpreter or translator goes through training in order to get practice, expand their vocabulary and to educate themselves on the standards and codes of ethics that such professionals must learn in order to perform at the level of an interpreter or translator; and that is something that a bilingual person does not have or know.
