What is a language translator?

A language translator is a specialist who has above average skills in communication, language comprehension, and writing. The core of a language translator's job is to take content from one language and put it into another. A translator works through written documents. Translators may need to spend a great deal of time on a document to match the tone and tenor of a statement because, outside of some legal papers, it is rarely as straightforward as a word for word translation.
