Actually, the distinction (that I've seen) between "translator" and "interpreter" is whether the "transformation" is happening in real-time across spoken/sign language, or whether it's written language. Translators take text in one language and write it in another, like translating a legal document. Interpreters consume speech/sign in one language and speak/sign it in another.
