At times the matter engaged in may be pathetic especially if it is a court matter. The interpreter needs to suppress personal emotions and stay professional.<br />Powelhttp://www.globalgatetranslations.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-91654298653531021602015-12-28T15:25:07.718-08:002015-12-28T15:25:07.718-08:00@Alessandra: Many thanks for the sweet comment!
