Talk:List of language interpreters in fiction

C-3PO quotes
C-3PO from Star Wars was quoted in this article as saying in the films: ''Don’t blame me! I’m the interpreter! I’m not supposed to know the difference between a power socket and a computer terminal. I'm only an interpreter, and not very good at telling stories. Actually, we might be more involved than people think. We are really trying to figure out what that country is trying to speak. And we try to help people talk and not fight.''.

In fact, only the first few sentences are actual C-3PO quotes. I don't know much about the rest, "Actually, we might be more involved than people think. We are really trying to figure out what that country is trying to speak. And we try to help people talk and not fight.", because I could only find one source for them:. They seem to be related to the film The Interpreter, but they are probably not actual quotes from the film, they might come from some promotional event. gonzy (talk) 15:32, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Gonzy,

Do feel free to correct, I haven't gone through all 6 episodes to check. Somebody already corrected what I had written on the FR page. Whoever has the exact quotation may improve the page ;-)

I added a quote I found on the internet.

"In fiction" / nonfiction works
The title of this list is "List of language interpreters in fiction." But as it stands, it has a "Non-fiction works" section- obviously outside the scope of the article, and probably not even useful- since no one is likely to come to a "list of... in fiction" for factual biographies and memoirs on the topic. So I'm removing the non-fiction section; I don't see a comfortable way to include both the fiction and nonfiction stuff, and I don't think the nonfiction section is weighty enough to be spun off into its own list (as it's entirely a list of biographies and memoirs, it could only really work as a section of something like a "bibliography of translation and interpretation" list, and no such article seems to exist presently).
