What do we call a person who translates one language to another?

There are a few different terms for a person who translates one language to another, depending on the context and their specific role:

* Translator: This is the most common and general term for someone who translates text from one language to another.

* Interpreter: This term is used for someone who translates spoken language in real time, like in meetings or phone calls.

* Linguist: While not specifically focused on translation, linguists have a deep understanding of language and may be involved in translation projects.

* Language Broker: This term is sometimes used for translators working in specific fields, such as healthcare or legal.

* Localization Specialist: These professionals translate and adapt materials to be culturally appropriate for a specific target audience.

The best term to use will depend on the specific context and the individual's role.
