Beware!
Even though being bilingual is one of the requirements to being a translator, there are reasonable differences between bilinguals and translators. In other words, while a bilingual is “a person fluent in two languages,” a translator, on the other hand, is a person who masters perfectly two languages into which he/she is translating; acts as a bridge between those two languages.
Simply put, a translator is a highly-educated person who possesses additional qualifications in specialized fields, develops good research and reading skills and has a critical and analytical mind.
But, above all, a translator also has an in-depth knowledge of both the sociological and cultural background of the source and target languages in question.
This is exactly the kind of translator that Oryx Translation works with – this, in turn, will help you avoid any cultural faux-pas!
