As long as people from different parts of the world have been communicating there has been a need for translators. As the world has become a smaller place and globalization has brought peoples into greater contact, the need for translators has grown and so too has the various misconceptions and myths about translation. Translators must know more than just the vocabulary and grammar of a language. It's not as simple as sitting down with dictionaries and translating content word for word. What follows is a list of some of the most common myths about translation. 1) Bilingual People Can Translate Being raised bilingually is not something that makes one a translator by nature. You can't simply wake up one day and decide to do quality Spanish / English translation just because you understand the languages, are fluent with them, or are even a native speaker of both.

This is not the case as each building is different in each and every town across the country. Buildings are all built differently and on different foundations so their radon reading are all... you guessed it... different!2. Radon isn't real: False Scientists have determined that radon is very real. In fact it is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S. According to the EPA radon gas kills more people than drunk driving, drownings or house fires. Those are a lot of unnecessary deaths for something so preventable.3. New homes shouldn't have a problem: False Just because a home has been constructed in the past few years, does not mean you're exempt from radon issues. In fact, the way homes are now constructed opens the door (almost literally!) for radon to come into your home, should your soil have high levels to begin with.
