EULITA Conference opening today! I am honoured to be presenting this morning on the Status of Public Service Interpreting in the UK and Quality Assurance

C'est en ce moment ! Merci à @csitraductions de nous relayer toutes ces informations sur la conférence 🙏

[Caroline Subra-Itsutsuji @csitraductions]

@sueleschen dresse un état des lieux britannique : l'interprétation de service public est sous-payée, ce qui démotive les professionnels du secteur. Un contrat a été conclu avec un prestataire de services linguistiques, mais les cours sont libres de désigner leurs interprètes.

@MooreEdits @Linguist_CIOL @vr_interpreting @DianaSingureanu @grahamhieke We are thinking of putting together an article for the Linguist based on our experiences of interpreting on this murder trial. It is still ongoing..

[sue leschen @sueleschen]

@ABiesiedin Nor do the UK police always offer interpreters body armour when we are working in potentially dangerous situations even when they themselves are kitted out in stab vests. I know from personal experience on a job on the 16th floor of a block of flats!

@MooreEdits @Linguist_CIOL @vr_interpreting @DianaSingureanu @grahamhieke Will do.
Yes the case is mentally, physically and emotionally draining.

[sue leschen @sueleschen]

@MooreEdits I am currently interpreting remotely in a murder case sitting alongside a defendant who is finding the remote setting difficult and frustrating (as am I) but it has been deemed better for his welfare for him not to attend physically in the court room

@katellmeaboutit @maureenjcohen Specialisms are often confused with expertise

@sueleschen @Linguist_CIOL @vr_interpreting @DianaSingureanu @grahamhieke Well as excuses go…! Sounds like another very challenging assignment. I wondered if I’d just missed you in the crowd
