Things are a bit more complicated.
Translation is when someone with a command of both the original and target languages _writes_ his/her interpretation of the original language in the target language. This need not be - and often is not - a literal translation, since there are frequently local or national terms or turns of speech that cannot be literally translated, and in that case must be re-written in the target language to make the sense of the original understandable to a foreign reader. For a simple example, a German says he's "blue" when he's drunk. An American says he's "blue" when he's sad or melancholic.
A translator generally has plenty of time to "polish" a translation and perfect the meaning in the target language, since everything is in written form.
Interpretation is, on the other hand, verbal, either simultaneous - in which the interpreter listens to the original and speaks in the target language (an extremely difficult and exhausting job that can only be performed by experts, and even then only for a limited number of hours) - or consecutive, in which the interprter waits for the frequent pauses in the original language and then speaks the target language equivalent. Only when the interpreter finishes does the person speaking the original language continue. This is much easier than simultaneous interpretation. But interpretation is, and must be (for lack of time) less exact than translation.

Sounds like something translated by Google. Except for the spelling, "Projekt" in German is the same in English. And "Struktur" in German can be translated variously, depending on the context. In this case, I would prefer "schedule". And there's a major difference between a course and a study (which consists of several courses = parts or sections of a study). These are the kind of things a professional translator must know. As I've discovered several times in my life, it's simply not enough to be able to speak two languages in order to translate between them, much less interpret between them. It takes a great deal of practice in addition to the language capabilities.
