How Interpreters Convey Emotion Between Languages
You'll find interpreters working in hospitals, courtrooms, and offices around the world. They interpret, or translate*, between individuals or in front of groups, accurately conveying spirit and meaning of the spoken message from one language to another.
But what do they do when things get a bit emotional?
How do they convey extreme excitement, anger, or even sadness accurately?
In the language industry, translation primarily refers to transferring the content of written material or frozen text from one language into another - a very different task to spoken language or sign language interpreting.
