Students invited to translate

STUDENTS from secondary schools all over Europe including Ireland will have a chance to become a translator for a day as part of a project to encourage people to choose it as a career.

They will be able to choose from which and into which of the EU’s 23 official languages, including Irish, they want to translate a specially selected text.

The competition will take place on the same day throughout the EU, on November 14, and professional translators working for the EU will judge the result.
