BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE

Perhaps the biggest difference between interpreters and translators, then, is that most

translators use computer-aided tools in their work. This involves converting the source content

into a file type format, applying a translation memory to the text to automatically translate anything

the tool has translated before, and filling in the gaps from scratch. As the translator goes through

each section of text, they may refer to glossaries and style guides to ensure quality. Finally, they

will pass the translation to another linguist to proofread, then convert the final document back into

its original format ensuring the closest possible match.

Where interpreters have a fundamental proficiency in spoken communication, translators

need excellent written skills. They’re often specialists in particular fields and perfectionists by

nature, having to adhere to source content’s style and tone as well as grammar rules and overall

accuracy. Translators work on any information in written form: Websites, print, video subtitles,

software, multimedia.

Two weeks ago while our group visiting museum, we see a chance and moment to engage

in work field. Whereas in this museum there is no interpreter/ or tour guide to accompany the

visitors. Furthermore we also discussed plenty of plant with Museum staff in order to do

collaboration and we possess the same purpose that have some benefit for both side.
