As a physician and as a pilot, I think it lets me be a pretty good translator having one foot in the medical world and one foot in the flying world. Sometimes when the medical guys come in and speak medical stuff to the pilots, the pilots really don't know what they're saying.

Michael Cunningham

I encourage the translators of my books to take as much license as they feel that they need. This is not quite the heroic gesture it might seem, because I've learned, from working with translators over the years, that the original novel is, in a way, a translation itself.

American Writer

Tatiana Maslany

My mom's a translator, my dad's a woodworker; that's the world I grew up in, that's the world I'm most comfortable in. The whole idea of Hollywood or any of that other stuff that unfortunately goes along with film, that wasn't part of my upbringing, thankfully.

Scientists in different disciplines don't speak the same language. They publish in different journals. It's like the United Nations: You come together, but no one speaks the same language, so you need some translators.

American Scientist

Mstislav Rostropovich

If I make a speech, I need a translator. But music does not need a translation. People understand me through the sound. That I think is very important. This is just one planet, like one family.

Russian Musician

It has to be said that one of the most impressive aspects of the parliament are the brilliant unsung translators, who ensure that whatever language you speak, you are understood.

British Writer

Milana Vayntrub

I remember what it was like when my parents couldn't help me with my homework because they couldn't speak the language, or being a translator for my parents. I did that a lot.

American Actress

Italo Calvino

Italian Journalist

Now, every organization has to have a translator for the Hispanics on the teams, and that helps a lot.

Guillermo Cabrera Infante

Writers rush in where publishers fear to tread and where translators fear to tread.

Cuban Novelist

Translators must understand cultural differences to ensure accurate translation, not just language.

Cultural Nuance

'Translator' and 'interpreter' differ; translators work with written text, interpreters with spoken language.

Not Interchangeable

Translators often specialize in fields like legal, medical, or technical translation for accuracy.

Specialization

In computing, a translator facilitates communication between different digital systems or devices.

Digital Communication

Translators can convert data formats, such as from analog to digital, for compatibility.

Format Conversion

Computer translators help adapt software to different languages and regions, known as localization.
