Whenever I travel to a poor country, I try to help at least one person. Usually, that person helps me just as much - I can find a local poor person to be my guide or my interpreter. That person makes money from me, I make money from him or her, we both learn about each other. It's an equal win-win relationship.

American Novelist

Ann Wilson

I trained myself by doing other people's songs in clubs way back when. And so I have no pride about doing covers. I love it. And being a song interpreter, to me, is just as important as, you know, putting your own thing out there. It's all about the soul - where the soul comes from.

American Musician

Grace Jones

I didn't think I had a voice at all, and I still think of myself as an interpreter of songs more than a singer. I thought it was too deep; people thought I was a man. I had a very strong Jamaican accent, too; the accent really messed me up for auditions.

Roy Harper

I'm attending to my legacy, making sure that it travels the universe in the best shape I can get it into. For as long as I'm alive, I'll still be its interpreter.

English Musician

Aaliyah

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

American Singer

Thomas Chatterton Williams

Whether or not a text really is a universe unto itself, it is safe to say that it can only ever be as rich as its most sensitive interpreter.

American Critic

Kristian Nairn

I trained to become a sign-language interpreter because it helps you read physical expression and the emotions of body language.

Irish Actor

Charlotte Bronte

The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter - in the eye.

British Novelist

John Morley

A great interpreter of life ought not himself to need interpretation.

British Statesman

Karl Barth

Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.

Swiss Theologian

Interpreters translate spoken language, unlike translators who work with written texts.

Not Written Translation

Interpreters must translate quickly and accurately without delays, often in live situations.

Real-Time Translation

Interpreters often specialize in certain fields like law or medicine to ensure precise translation.

Domain Specific

Cultural interpreters not only translate words, they also explain cultural nuances and contexts.

Beyond Language

Interpreters can act as guides in unfamiliar settings, offering insights beyond mere translation.

Guide Role

Computing interpreters execute the code line by line, without the need for prior compilation.

Instant Execution

Interpreters help programmers by quickly running test scripts to check for errors or output.

Script Testing

Each programming language may require a different interpreter; they aren't universal.
