    As someone how worked as an interpreter myself I can guarantee you that this is way more difficult than it looks.

    Eng-Span/Span-Eng is one of the easiest combinations to translate. They share so many similar vocabularies and both are in the alphabet. Translating English to, say, Korean is much more difficult as there aren’t any commonalities and the order of constituents in a sentence is different (SVO to SOV).
