Translation and Interpretation

Translation is converting written words from one language to another. It requires understanding both languages and their cultures, maintaining the original meaning. Interpretation, on the other hand, is the conversion of spoken words or signs from one language to another. It's done real-time, often in diplomatic, legal, or professional settings. In the context of philosophy of language, both processes examine how meaning and understanding cross language barriers, focusing on how one language's concepts can be accurately represented in another.
