Usage Note

Interpretación covers both intellectual interpretation (of a text, law, or data: interpretación de datos) and artistic performance (acting, music: una interpretación magistral). The plural interpretaciones is regular. The related verb is interpretar and the agent noun is intérprete (interpreter, performer). In legal contexts it often means 'oral interpreting' rather than translation (interpretación simultánea).

Examples

"Su interpretación del papel fue brillante."

Natural Translation

Her performance in the role was brilliant.
