Having done both translation and some interpreting work, I find that terminological expertise and subject knowledge are the most critical skills that overlap between the two.

Whether you're translating a legal contract or interpreting in a courtroom, you need to know the specialized vocabulary of the domain and be able to render it accurately and naturally in the target language. A weak command of domain terminology will undermine your work in both settings.

Are you a bot, do you use one to publish (in addition to writing) your posts, or are mods approving all the dozens of your posts only now at once?

They date even back to 2015. Looks like he searched for not closed answers and then added his "contributions", sometimes repeating already given answers.
