Language combinations

Language combination: the languages that the interpreter/translator uses in their work

Working languages are divided into “active” and “passive” languages and are classified as languages “A”, “B” or “C”.

The “active” language is the language into which the interpreter/translator translates, while the “passive” language is the language from which the interpreter/translator translates.

  • Language “A”: the main language – the mother tongue or another language that is exactly equivalent – of which the interpreter/translator has a perfect command and to which they translate from all their working languages.
  • Language “B”: the language of which the interpreter/translator has a complete command, without it being their main language, from and into which they translate from language A.
  • Language “C”: the language from which the interpreter/translator translates and of which they have full understanding.

Language “A” and “B” are defined as “active” because they are the languages into which the interpreter/translator translates starting from the other languages they know.

Language “C” is defined as “passive” because it is the language from which the interpreter/translator translates, but not vice versa.
