Alternative forms[edit]
- Dolmetsch (archaic or Austria)
Etymology[edit]
From Middle High German tolmetsche (13th c.), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *tilmač (compare Turkish dilmaç). Probably borrowed through a Slavic language; compare Proto-Slavic *tъlmačь (“interpreter”), whence Russian толма́ч (tolmáč), Polish tłumacz. Alternatively through Hungarian tolmács.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
Dolmetscher m (strong, genitive Dolmetschers, plural Dolmetscher, feminine Dolmetscherin)
- interpreter (one who translates in real time; male or of unspecified sex)
- (archaic) translator (male or of unspecified gender)
- Synonym: Übersetzer
Usage notes[edit]
- While it remains common in general parlance to use Übersetzer as an umbrella term, it is now unusual to refer to a translator of books or other completed texts as a Dolmetscher.
