Reception

Critic Jacques Mandelbaum opined that "Aviv films these encounters carefully, taking time to listen to each translator in the half-light of their offices, bringing surprisingly passionate ideas to the surface" and that the film "finds room in its erudite enterprise to explore sensibilities."{{cite news|date=1 February 2011|title=Traduire – Review|last=Mandelbaum|first=Jacques|author-link=Jacques Mandelbaum|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/feb/01/nurith-aviv-film-language-review|work=The Guardian|location=London|access-date=13 June 2017}}
