Translation or Interpretation?
The difference – Simply put, translation deals with written communication, while interpreting is all about the spoken word.
During the conduct of focus groups, proceedings are audio or video-taped for later analysis and coding. However the proceedings are usually also viewed through a one way mirror where researchers can view the proceedings “live”.
In the case of the focus group being conducted in a foreign language, a bilingual interpreter can be provided to interpret the proceedings verbally and live to those who speak a different language.
