Good news: new EWC directive approved. This will mean more work for interpreters... #1nt www.eversheds-sutherland.com/en/ireland/i...

According to the @bankofengland.bsky.social, the #AI #bubble may well burst. Ah well. According to me, this may well apply to the AI #interpretation bubble as well. Just saying. #1nt

"One of the attendees (a leader actually) pulled me aside and thanked us for providing quality interpretation. He said the interpreters were true to the message being delivered. We can’t ask for more! You, Nicole, and Jan have secured my confidence for all future events!" Take that, AI! 👊 #1nt

Today, #Zoom announced that "real-time voice translation for Meetings will allow participants to hear meeting speech in their preferred language, enabling better collaboration and engagement with fewer language barriers (expected December 2025)". Ah well... #1nt news.zoom.com/ai-companion...

Did anyone see footage of Eric Zemmour's speech at the march in London yesterday by any chance? He spoke in French and was interpreted and I'm curious how/by whom it was done. #1nt

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Got this lovely message from a former student. Really warmed the cockles of my heart. ❤️ #LangSky

Hello! I have started a website for information about the role-space model of interpreting - www.rolespace.online Hopefully it will be of use to interpreters, students, and others! Please visit and spread the word! #xl8 #interpreting

"A review written in transparent prose can be translated via Google or Deepl with great accuracy" Not sure whether forcing your colleagues to use AI just because language skills among Anlophones is collapsing is really a good look. bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2025/2025.05...

Did you see the news about interpreters interpreting astronauts on Axiom Mission 4? Pretty cool stuff. Having said that, I interpret space cadets all the time... 🚀 #1nt

Had a hearing test today. Results good, can carry on interpreting if the Lord's a willing and the AI creeks don't rise. 🤞🏼 #1nt

Fellow #interpreters, would you consider accepting a job where #AI #interpretation (which you're told is extremely reliable) is used for the entire event and you're only there as a back-up to step in in case it 'fails'? #1nt

Just worked out that out of the 130 booth partners I've had in my interpreting career so far, 72.3% are female and 27.7% male. Very useful information. #1nt #Terplove

My week spent on an interpreting assignment in Spain turned out to be quite eventful. Theft, catcalling, mugging, prostitution, sexism and the list continues... 😳 Mainly unrelated to the event I hasten to add. 😊 #1nt #TerpLife

Remember when some people were saying how you should never speak to #Trump without an #interpreter? After the #Zelenskyy clash? Well #Merz did and it's all lovely jubbly. Go figure. #1nt www.msn.com/en-ca/news/w...

Has anyone here, #interpreter or otherwise, ever heard of #EU legislation banning glasses (the drinking receptacles, not spectacles) in #interpreting booths? Surely, that has to be some made-up rubbish! I'd like to be able to tell certain people confiscating our glasses... #1nt

Meeting adjourned till after lunch due to highly efficient interpreting. 💪 #1nt

A friendly reminder that I created this #1nt starter pack a while ago. Feel free to share or contact me to suggest updates. I like Bluesky but feel that there's not enough talk about #interpreting yet. Don't be shy. Aren't #interpreters supposed to be extroverts? 😇 #TerpLove go.bsky.app/J2jZuhS
