She is a translator and interpreter. Her simultaneous interpretation is perfect.
Explanation:
Corrected text: Please note: There is a mistake in this text..

Interpretation is not translation. It is a mistake to say that.

Ergo, the translation by Paul is 100% but the text in Portuguese is 100% wrong.

Tradução simultânea should laugh the person out of town..

:) :)

I have corrected it to what it should read.

So, you might want to tell the writer.

Someone who is such a great interpreter should know the difference....

As a matter of fact, to nail home to point, simultaneous translation is a misnomer and does not exist.

agree  Sormane Gomes: You're right, Jane. I've never heard of simultaneous translation. People make that mistake all the time. I'm suprised Ms. Perfect can't get that straight // Yeah, maybe somebody else wrote it.
