English term or phrase: Translators and Interpreters
Dear collegues:
I need to translate the phrase "Translators and Interpreters" into as much languages as possible. There's no real context, is for a claim with just said phrase. I'm sure you can help me on this! If your language has special characters or the answer you give me does not correspond to the real characters, please specify.
Thank you!

In Latvian we usually use capital letters only for the first word, not both as in English. So it would be "Tulkotāji un tulki"
