Summary/Abstract: Translator and/or interpreter? Both professions are what the French would refer to as „métiers des langues”, indicating their relationship with the raw material (the word/idea) used to obtain the final product. Even though on the Romanian market the distinction between the two is not yet clear-cut, in the European realm this distinction is well represented: the translator is not an interpreter and the interpreter is not a translator. For this reason, the current study tries to pinpoint elements of overlap as well as elements of division.
