Orange and pink sky with a quote by Mark Twain which reads "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is really a large matter - it's the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
Translators and interpreters know a thing or two about choosing the right word! It’s not just about accuracy but also conveying the right tone, emotion and context and translators and interpreters are masters at it.

Man's hands playing upright piano. Overlaid on the image are the words "It takes more than having two hands to be a good pianist. It takes more than knowing two languages to be a good translator."
It takes more than having two hands to be a good pianist. It takes more than knowing two languages to be a good translator.
Cultural knowledge, excellent writing and subject expertise are just some of the skills that set a translator apart.
