Interpretation refers to transforming spoken communication into a second language.
Translators should work only in their native languages, ensuring that the translation reads naturally and authentically. Translators must be handpicked for projects based on their area of specialization and experience.
Machine translation is a great shortcut – in some cases MT can be a pure automation of certain types of language.
There any many flavors, from rules based to logic based, with a hybrid using post-editing. MT already has an important role in the industry, and will only become more present, as speed to market and “gist” (as opposed to specific language market communication) is required based on commercial criteria.
Machine translation as a “gist” or “draft translation” can be created far faster and at a much lower cost compared to what human teams can produce. However, all machine translation must be edited by humans, and this process is known as “MT post-editing” (see below).
The art of transforming text from one language into another – either like for like or creatively crafting copy to convey the meaning and intent of the original in the target language.

The adaptation of software, applications, interfaces and websites to meet the needs of a certain market. After localisation, functionality should be identical to the original, and perform according to the conventions and rules of another language and culture.
L10N (the abbreviation of localization often used in the language industry) implies translation in a technical context.
All language copy should go through a proofreading process. This allows for a sense check of the document prior to publication in order to ensure that it is typographically and linguistically ready for delivery.
