Anyone with two years of high school language (or anyone who lived in
another country for three years during early childhood) can translate.
|
 |
There's no difference between translation, transcription, and
transliteration.
|
 |
A good translator doesn't need any reference literature.
|
 |
Translators will soon be replaced by computers.
|
 |
Translators don't need to know how to spell, since they can use the spell
checker on their computer.
|
 |
A good translator gets it right the first time, without any editing or
proofreading.
|
 |
Good translators are a dime a dozen.
|
 |
If you can type in a foreign language then you are an accomplished
translator.
|
 |
Translators can translate both ways just as easily.
|
 |
A 100-page technical manual that took four months and three persons to
write, can be translated into another language by one translator in two
days. |
