European Parliament Interpreters Podcast

Los tipos de intérpretes

Enabling communication among 24 languages for the biggest multilingual Parliament in the world is an exciting but complicated task. It’s difficult to grasp the details of how our work is organised and who does exactly what and this goes not only for people outside the profession but sometimes for young interpreters and students too. Just before the end of the Spanish presidency, we got together with four experienced interpreters working with Spanish at the European Parliament and we focused on the everyday aspects of our work, like what language A, B and C mean, why it is essential to prepare your meetings, and how working from a passive language is different from working into this language actively.

EP Interpreters Podcast

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 16:48:40 GMT

Here at the European Parliament we're surrounded daily by twenty four official languages. A tiny microcosm of just how Europe speaks. As the interpretation and conference service hub of the Parliament, we know that language matters. This is why we decided to launch a new podcast series, offering interviews with colleagues or language lovers from the current EU Council presidency country as well as discussions about the cultures and languages that make up our European Union. Each episode focuses on a different topic, based on a chosen word or saying discussing the ins and outs, peculiarities, and the culture of the EU member states.
