4. Fluency
Translators only convert the original text into their native language and, therefore, are not required to be fluent in the source language. Interpreters , however, must be fluent speakers of both the source and target languages, as they communicate instantly with people who do not share a common language. Additionally, interpreters must have excellent conversational fluency.

Direction: One Language or Two?
Interpreters must be fluent in both the source and target languages and often translate both ways—converting content from the source language to the target language and vice versa. This requires a high level of skill and flexibility, as interpreters must quickly adjust their translations based on the live context. Professional translators, however, typically work in one direction—translating from the source language into their native language. This allows translators to work with greater ease and accuracy since they are translating into a language they are most comfortable with and have a deep understanding of.
