Interpreter Notes
Interpreters should be aware that 'distribuidor' and 'concesionario' can refer to different types of dealers, particularly in automotive contexts. It's important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that might confuse the meaning. Common variants include 'vendedor' or 'agente', which should be avoided in formal medical discussions.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
Confusing 'distribuidor' with 'vendedor'; using informal terms instead of formal medical terminology; misinterpreting the context as purely financial rather than medical.
