Translators work with written documents while interpreters translate verbally. If you need a document to be converted from one language to another, you require translations services. However, if you have an event which requires someone to facilitate communication between speakers of different languages, you require interpretation service.

Even though both translators and interpreters are very skilled in languages, the skills required for the respective jobs are significantly different.
