- How does the EU cope with the daily and never- ending demands for interpreting between these 23 languages?
- How do European politicians, civil servants and experts actually talk to (and understand) each other?
- What does it take to became an interpreter in the context of the European Union?
- Is official multilingualism on such a grand scale a waste of taxpayers’ money or a meaningful policy?
