What is the difference between Interpreting/Interpretation and Translating /Translation?

What is Language Interpretation?

 is the facilitating of oral or sign-language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between users of different languages. The process is described by both the words interpreting and interpretation.

interpreting  denotes the facilitating of communication from one language form into its equivalent, or approximate equivalent, in another language form; while interpretation 

denotes the actual product of this work, that is, the message thus rendered into speech, sign language, writing, non-manual signals, or other language form. This important distinction is observed in order to avoid confusion.

Interpreter

is a person who converts a thought or expression in a source language into an expression with a comparable meaning in a target language.

Source Language – Target Language

Modes of Interpreting

Consecutivea rhythm must be established between the speaker and the interpreter to allow frequent pauses for the interpreter to speak.

Simultaneous   interpreters have specialized training that allows them to interpret as the speaker talks, with no need of pauses.

Whisper  interpreter remains inconspicuous next to the client, whispering an interpretation of the matter at hand.

Liaison interpreting is a more involved process.

Relay  interpreter interprets the text to a language common to every interpreter, who then render the message to their respective target languages.
