Hi, Stas Mishchenkov! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 30.10.2021 20:15


 ak>> please, I am a translator."
 SM> Should it be "an interpreter"?

I believe both words are correct, but they have a bit different meaning.

If you interpret a phrase or something you actually explain it. For
instance, we can interpret the events in Ukraine, according to our point
of view.

If you translate you take one form of something and change it into
another form.

Some people tell that an interpreter is a person who works with the
spoken word, whereas a translator works with the written word. But it
IMHO sounds funny because of course an interpreter can translate a
written text too.

Bye, Stas!
