"Translators are the path to communication between peoples and cultures."
In celebration of our profession, we dispel two myths on translators and translation:
Myth 1: Any bilingual or multilingual person is a translator
The truth: Translators are LINGUISTS who know their working languages IN DEPTH, who have been trained on how
to transfer meaning from a language A (source language) to a language B (target language).
Myth 2: A translator can translate ANY SUBJECT matter.
The truth: The GOOD translator specializes, the INEXPERIENCED translator says he can
translate anything.
