A translator is someone who converts written or spoken words from one language to another. They must have a deep understanding of both the source language (the language of the original text) and the target language (the language into which the text is being translated), as well as a strong grasp of grammar, syntax, and cultural nuances.
Translators may work in a variety of settings, including government agencies, international organizations, private companies, and freelance work. They may translate a wide range of materials, including legal documents, technical manuals, marketing materials, and literary works.
