    Myths about T&I

    Dr. Colina,


    I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. Thank you for clarifying some of the myths and assumptions that people have about translators and interpreters. When I talk to people about my major, Spanish Translation and Interpretation, most of them do not know the difference between the two since they believe that interpreters are also called translators. Also, thank you for educating people about how being bilingual is not enough to become a professional interpreter or translator. Becoming a professional requires education and training, as well as a set of skills that may vary depending on type of interpretation/translation.


    Sincerely,

    Katherine Morgan
