What is the difference between "interpretative" and "interpretive"?

There is no difference in meaning.

I just looked in the dictionary to see if "interpretative" actually existed as a word. I would have assumed someone who said it did not know the word was "interpretive."

Funny, I had only heard the former.

Yes, I am. The only use of the word I know of is in the phrase "interpretive dance."
