Now the only thing I have to do is actually write the thesis. Minor detail. #designsproject – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Employers mention that it’s difficult to listen to the same interpreter who is interpreting several deaf applicants - personal traits in translation into English are important to keep it ‘easy on the ears’. @designsproject #designsproject

Interpreters have to agree to assignments based on limited information and sometimes have to pull out if necessary information is not provided; they have to be allowed to do the best job they can. @designsproject #designsproject
