Is the translator made or born?

I know in advance that the question is not so easy to answer, but I want any who enters to give / write his opinion / point of view so that at the end by the help of Besho0o ( I hope to accept the invitation ). We 'll conclude what 'll be written.

Now it's my turn to start.

To be successful a translator you must have a good general education in addition to the prerequisite language skills.
A bilingual person still needs certain other skills, expertise, and personality traits to be a good translator.

from this simple introduction, the translator must have a very good education in the field of translation and has a good knowledge in every subject.

I'll come again and see what you'd write.

HI,
I agree with you that the translator must have a very good education in different because they need a lot of terms which make it easy for the audience to catch their point

HI,
I agree with you that the translator must have a very good education in different fields because they need a lot of terms which make it easy for the audience to catch their point. some of them are so talented, in my opinion I think the talent is play a very important role. why? Because some translators translate words literally, regardless of the effect or the meaning of the word.

thank you
have a nice day.

I do thank Omar for putting forth such topic.Besides,I agree with u both,but I think that it'd be better if a translator became a specialist in a partecular subject so that he can be more successful:since everybody interested in diffirent things,knowing everything seems to be unfulfilled goal.
Thanks
waiting for a comment.

Translators are not born. If they were, every bilingual person could be a competent translator. If you look at many people's attempts at translation, you quickly see that that is not the case. It's a special skill to be able to translate from one language into a natural form of another language, and this requires practice, developed language skills and the ability to see the meaning of the text in spite of the words.
