What is an Interpreter?	What is a Translator?
An interpreter is a person who establishes, either simultaneously or consecutively, oral communication between two or more people who are not speaking the same language.	A translator is one who transfers written text from the source language, and produces a new equivalent text in the target language.  The final product is called the translation.
