8. There's no difference between translation and interpretation.
7. Translators are sure to work nights and weekends at no extra charge.
6. Translators don't need to understand what they're translating.
5. A good translator doesn't need proofing or editing.
4. Becoming a translator is an easy way to get rich quick.
3. Translation is just typing in a foreign language.
2. A translator costs $2 at a metro CD stall and runs on a basic PC.
