ESF 04
Annexe 2. Speaker form
Advance Information Requested for a Better Level of Interpretation at the ESF.
Babels, the international network of volunteer interpreters and translators, will be organising interpretation at the ESF in London.
In order for Babels volunteers to deliver a good level of interpretation which will have a direct impact on the quality of the debates it is absolutely essential that the interpreters receive in advance some background information about the content of the speeches of all plenaries and seminars.
The vocabulary used by alter-globalisation activists is not the vocabulary of everyday life. Interpreters (professionals and amateurs) will need to learn in advance the relevant vocabulary and key terms related to the sessions they will cover in their respective languages.
It is the responsibility of all speakers and organisations who are presenting seminars and plenaries to notify Babels of the necessary background information prior to the ESF.
If you want your speeches to be well interpreted by Babels volunteers and so better understood by the delegates, please follow the instructions below:
