Delighted to announce ITIA translation competition 2022 for secondary school students in Ireland. With the introduction of Portuguese (thanks @_marocca), now available for 9 languages with everyone translating into English

Como intérpretes, debemos siempre ser imparciales, mantener siempre la compostura y no dejar que nuestras opiniones o sentimientos se reflejen en el mensaje.

Sin embargo, también somos personas…

may seem a straightforward word when interpreting from German into English, but it does require a conscious decision every time you hear it.

@itia_ireland has been raising the issue of lack of training for court interpreters and absence of standards for 20 years now. https://t.co/LdEz9pJ6L9
It's beyond time this situation was rectified @CourtsServiceIE @courtsnewsIRL @DeptJusticeIRL

We were discussing this yesterday, #1MAC1 when we talked about the role of the Attorney General and preliminary rulings by the CJEU.

Thanks for your reply, Sarah, which was so much quicker than trying to reach someone by phone! No, I cannot order an old statement online for a business account, but receive a message to phone. It is neither possible to have statements for business accounts available online.

[PTSB Customer Service @AskPTSB]

@KarlApsel Hi Karl, Please bear with us, we are experiencing unprecedented call volumes and are doing our very best to answer customer calls as quickly as we can during this time. You can order a statement on a PC you just need to click on order postal statement. Thanks,Sarah.

[Karl Apsel @KarlApsel]

. @askpermanenttsb Is there anyone working in your call centres? In the waiting queue for over 1 hour now - just to order a statement! Why can this not be simply done online? 21st century ...

Who boos the opposing team’s national anthem? Unsporting. Uncivil. Unbelievable. #ENGGER

[Karl Apsel @KarlApsel]

@Shadow_Official I think you might have priced yourself out of the market and would at least expect some added bonuses like (free) additional hard disc space. I will wait for now and see how it goes. But this 100%+ price increase is pretty steep!

This is part of why it's so important for interpreters to have a clear view of the speaker. #1nt #bodylanguage

#Videoconferencing: Why is it so tiring? This peer-reviewed paper suggests some reasons, but does not consider the #audio quality that is so important to #interpreters. Respect to colleagues maintaining standards in tough conditions. #1nt #ZoomFatigue
