   Hi, Stas Mishchenkov! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 30.10.2021 20:15   
      
      
    ak>> please, I am a translator."   
    SM> Should it be "an interpreter"?   
      
   I believe both words are correct, but they have a bit different meaning.   
      
   If you interpret a phrase or something you actually explain it. For   
   instance, we can interpret the events in Ukraine, according to our point   
   of view.   
      
   If you translate you take one form of something and change it into   
   another form.   
      
   Some people tell that an interpreter is a person who works with the   
   spoken word, whereas a translator works with the written word. But it   
   IMHO sounds funny because of course an interpreter can translate a   
   written text too.   
      
   Bye, Stas!
