Who are the translators?

Translation can generally be divided into translation and interpretation. IT can be divided into literary translation, business translation, technical translation, IT translation, financial translation, patent translation and so on. Scientific translation can be subdivided into mechanical translation, chemical translation, electronic translation and so on. Mechanical translation includes the translation of technical data of mechanical equipment, the largest of which is the translation of operating instructions.

Types of translation

There will also be cross-cutting fields, such as the translation of information equipment, which will involve medical, electronic, mechanical and other fields. When translating, it is difficult to translate accurately without certain knowledge of related fields. If you don't understand finance and can't explain what you can't say in Chinese, how can you translate financial information? Interpretation is generally divided into three categories: accompanying translation, consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation, with increasing difficulty.

Like translation, knowledge in related fields is also needed. There is also a classification method, namely internal translation and external commercial translation. In-company translation is characterized by professional content, usually in a specific field, while translators outside the company generally have customers in multiple fields, and the translation content may be more extensive.
