|---|
still I think this short film is brilliant... It's 16 mins.

I don't know how long it can be watched, maybe for 1-2 days.

Great video.

Thanx for sharing, Katalin.

@Christophe
I read about the time limit in an article, where I read about this short film.
Maybe other sites copied it.

Thank you sharing! I enjoyed it very much.

Wow, I respect interpreters…
I was searching for another classic by a colleague called Edwal. He's still there, but I can't find the story...
Thanks for the laugh! And shudder. I never interpret, ever, even for one of my very best clients.

... and here I don't mean the story in this film, but in real life...
Respect for them!

| Simultaneous interpreters ... multitasking ... or multi-interpreting ? | Jan 14, 2019 |
Thanks Katalin for sharing this video with "crazy end".
Somehow, face-to-face Consecutive Interpreting seems safer...
Even if, as an Interpreter, sometimes you have to translate 'kindly' and 'softly' a rude comment or word.

Yes, I was thinking the same when I was watching it.
If the same happened to somebody, he/she could feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
(spoiler) At the same time since this is a conference with many people, the listening person might have felt uncomfortable but she/he had the chance to report it to a conference staff or just turn around and look up very furiously at the interpreters' booth sector. But then there wouldn't be a story.

| Interpreters are called translators in this film | Jan 15, 2019 |
Just how long does it take to get this habit away?

So it's easier for people to use the same word for both professions.
I don't know whether this can be changed in people's mind ...
