translators
Bridge between tongues
Translators are people who convert written text from one language to another.
The term extends to anything that converts between forms or systems: a translator might convert data formats, or serve as an intermediary who explains one group's ideas to another.
The novel's translators captured the author's humor remarkably well.
She acted as a translator between the engineers and the marketing team.
