Translation — Transcript — Interpretation. Notes on the European Parliament verbatim report of proceedings

This short research/policy note raises theoretical issues linked with the way multilingual proceedings of the European Parliament are to be recorded, especially in view of proposals to move from translated transcripts to web-published unrevised simultaneous interpretations, and possibly to transcribe them. A more active role of language professions in setting out the practical and theoretical pro’s and con’s of different options is called for.
