Berkshire-based language services company Prestige Network has stepped in to offer the services of its interpreters to Dundee United for its new Slovakian goalie Dusan Pernis’ media interviews.
BBC Scotland’s Jim Spence conducted an interview with Dusan yesterday (Thursday 10 December), which is now posted at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8407103.stm with the heading:
‘a reporter should know when to give up’. Dusan admitted during the interview that his English is not very good.
After seeing the interview online, Shawn Khorassani (Business Development and Strategy Director of language services company Prestige Network) contacted the club, offering the services of a Slovakian interpreter.
The club jokingly replied that there was an urgent need, but it was for the Scottish reporter!

Local authorities in London are being told that they need to consider the translation and interpreting needs of their non-English speaking residents if they want to communicate better with everyone in their borough.
And now a campaign is being mounted to get London Councils to take their responsibilities of communicating with ethnic minorities seriously.
All councils are judged on how well they deliver their strategic plans to the community, and these results determine the councils’ star ratings.

British Sign Language (BSL) is a language all of its own and involves communication by hand gestures, facial expressions as well as body movements. It is classed as a visual-spatial language and is a very full bodied and detailed language.
It may be faster to speak individual words than to create a sign, but this does not mean that communicating in BSL is slower than a spoken language. Because our eyes can perceive multiple signals and signs are combined with movements of the head, face and body, the BSL conversation is as fluent as a verbal one.
Recognition for British Sign Language (BSL)
British Sign Language was recognised as a language in its own right by the UK government on 18th March 2003. In fact, it is an official minority language in the UK and now has a similar status to that of other minority national languages such as Welsh and Gaelic.
It is estimated by the Department of Work and Pensions that British Sign Language is the first language of nearly 70,000 people in the UK. With the services of a Prestige Network British Sign Language / English interpreter, we can help you to bridge the communication gap between Deaf* and hearing people.
British Sign Language Grammar
British Sign Language is the same as any other language – it has its own vocabulary, grammar, expressions, emotions etc. as well as its own regional variations. Our interpreters can communicate exact emotions, expressions and nuances, as well as directly interpret the literal exchanges.
Prestige Network’s BSL / English Interpreting Services
All our BSL / English Interpreters are professionally qualified and all their work is carried out to a very high level ensuring that communication is clear and effective.
We only work with qualified and/or registered BSL / English Interpreters. All our BSL / English Interpreters adhere to a strict code of conduct and are very sensitive to their role, especially for example in legal issues. We understand that a BSL / English Interpreter’s role is simply to provide an impartial interpretation of all communication and not to offer advice or opinions.
As well as British Sign Language, we offer professional translation services and interpreting services in over 400 languages.

A focus on the Polish Language
The Polish Language
Polish (Polski) is the official language of Poland. It is spoken by most of the 38 million inhabitants of Poland (census 2002). Native speakers of Polish are also found in Western Belarus, Ukraine and Eastern Lithuania. Because of emigration from Poland in various periods, millions of Polish-speakers can also be found in countries such as United Kingdom, Israel, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Australia, United States, etc. The estimated number of Poles who live beyond the borders of Poland is around ten million; with about fifty million people worldwide naming Polish as their mother tongue.
Enlargement of the EU
Since the enlargement of EU in 2004, Language9 (Prestige Network) has registered a steep rise in Polish Translation requirements. Individuals, government offices, charities, businesses, health authorities and Police Forces have recognized the importance of conveying important information to Polish citizens living and working in the UK in their native tongue. Whether it is a Health and Safety Manual, Police Reports, Doctor’s Appointment Cards, minutes of a meeting or a newspaper that needs to be translated into Polish, Language9 (Prestige Network) is an experienced, professional and friendly agency that will address all your Polish language needs.
