Newguest  +  411008 Wed, 29 Aug 07 10:39 AM Hi I have a question, if I say that I'm a translator, does it mean to you that I deal only with written texts or both with written and oral translation? If I say I'm an interpreter does it mean that I'm dealing only with oral translation? What's the scope of meaning of the word "translation," "translator?" thank you Newguest Joined on Sun, Feb 25 2007 Senior Member 2,053 Translation
