A chapter in The People Business, 2005, pp 77-78 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The impressive skills of the simultaneous translator are ever in demand; partly as a function of the remorseless growth of the EC and world trade in general. So we need people to translate Czech into Dutch, Finnish into Portuguese, and Polish into Greek. How long will we have to wait before there are demands for Catalan into Welsh, or Irish into the musical language of the Laps (Sami)?
