Interpreter and translator.

[Kinomaks]

So I've been wondering what's the difference between these two words. I've read the thread about "Translate or Interpret" and the difference there is quite clear, but how should a person name himself? Does his work come in account here? I mean for me the word "interpreter" is kind of more, how should I put it, presentable? When I hear someone calling himself a translator I always imagine Google Translate or some other web dictionary. Is it just me or that really sound somewhat strange? Thanks.

Generally, an interpreter is fluent in two languages and translates a conversation or interview between two people who speak only one of those languages.

A translator renders a written work in one language into a written version in another language.

Ok, so if I translate movies(if there are no subtitles, I translate what I hear and write it down, and after that I record it with microphone) that makes me a translator?

Yes.
