European Work Councils

 
 
A SPECIALISED SECTOR

European Works Councils are important meeting places for the managers of France's largest companies. Interpreting  for such meetings requires very specific competencies.

 
 
DELEGATES AND MANAGERS
 
 
interprètes de conférence DELEGATES: Speakers from union organisations may not be specialists in public speaking— their speeches are occasionally less structured than those of people more used to addressing large gatherings. Moreover, they often come from different regions of Europe, where accents and expressions may differ—this is often a real challenge for interpreters. Our interpreters, with several years' experience in this field, are adept at working in such contexts.

: By contrast, managers presenting company results and strategies often use highly technical vocabulary. Interpreters must therefore understand financial terminology, labour laws and European directives. You can be sure that our interpreters do so.
 
 
 
EWCs SPECIFIC CONTEXTS
 
 
European Works Councils constitute a unique context, in which relationships between staff representatives and management may occasionally be subject to tensions. Our interpreters have extensive experience of labour relations—they works discreetly and maintain strict confidentiality.
 
 
 
USE OF PIVOT LANGUAGES
 
 
The large number of speakers occasionally means interpreters have to use French as a "pivot language". Each interpreter must be able to translate from French into their own language, but also vice versa, depending on the speaker. Other interpreters then use the French version to translate into their own languages.
