press edit and write it down there.

For the whole world see, appreciate and use. Get yourself a minute of the Wiki experience. And get the idea.

Btw, you can still do it (I did it;) And Cecilia will have it nice and neat in one piece.

Regards

Vito

oversetter - no difference for genders.
(of the translator, that is - the word is masculine in Norwegian)

Danish 'oversætter' is correct Sep 4, 2007

Hi Cecilia,

The Danish term for translator (oversætter) listed in the two links is correct. The term is listed in the singular, indefinite form and may be used for male as well as female translators.

Hello Cecilia.

The Japanese word 翻訳者 (hon’yaku-sha) is correct and so is 翻訳家 (hon' yaku-ka). Both can be translated into a translator, however, there's obviously a shade of meaning between them. I believe that Edward George Seidensticker, who translated Kawabata Yasunari's "Yukiguni (雪国)", Murasaki Shikibu's "Tale of Genji (源氏物語)" and so forth, was one of the excellent 翻訳家 (hon' yaku-ka) we ever had. Me? I am just a 翻訳者 (hon’yaku-sha).

Traditional Han Character (Mandarin) / Taiwan Sep 4, 2007

In Taiwan, just like the wiki said, a translator is called
"譯者" (sounds like: Yi Cher)
or, there are some other versions
"翻譯師"(Fan Yi Shi/ Fan Yi Sher)
"翻譯員"(Fan Yi Yuan)

This term is not gender specific , if wanna indicate, add one character before the term.
男譯者 (Nan Yi Cher) -- male translator
女譯者(Nyuu Yi Cher)-- female translator

(phon.) Tarjman (originates from classical Arabic moutarjem). No dialectal feminine: classical moutarjima is used.
This Arabic root led to the family name Tordjman.
Actually I learned this just yesterday during an Arabic class.
