My doubt Sep 23, 2010

In many simultaneous interpretation venues, many interpreters standby to take charge in turn. I wonder why the UN cannot hire more interpreters to spare the job. I personally cannot interpret continuously for 1 hour and longer.

Maybe tell the politician to summarise their viewpoints Sep 26, 2010

These politicians are rich enough to pay for several interpreters. Rather work for Translators without Borders or Medecins sans frontieres than established dictators, even without pay.
