Dr. Colina made a very interesting point regarding translators and interpreters and their differences. She notes that translators require good writing skills and interpreters must be comfortable with working under pressure. I would like to add that interpreters also require good interpersonal skills and must be good orators. Both fields require some of the same skills, but in order to perform both interpreting and translating, one must be a language expert as well as know which skills correspond to their practice.
