Which is the difference between translator and interpreter?
Translator: someone who translate written text or subtitles foreign language films. Interpreter: usually translates spoken word. Courses: there’s a college course here (Belgium) for translation/interpretation – the first two years are the same for both sides, then you specialise depending on what you want to do. I never finished my course of translator/interpreter though, so wouldn’t know about the rest of it – I suppose the rates of payment depend on the language, offer and demand.
