Translators generally convert written materials from one language into another whilst making sure that the translated version gives the same meaning as the original.
The job description of me as a translator includes trans-creating; this is a mix of copywriting, translation, and localization, where the text is linguistically and culturally adapted to suit the reader.
It should be noted that I also can translate a variety of content including technical documents, legal, scientific, literary, educational and commercial documents.
