EU needs native English speakers with German and French
Dear all,
The following article from the Guardian (www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/sep/21/languages.eu) may be of interest. The EU is experiencing a severe shortage of native English speakers for its interpreting and translation services. Those of you with German and French, or anyone reading this blog who is interested in a career in EU translation or interpreting, take note!
