Good news for British translators working into their native English:

Brussels puts out English Mayday.

Competition is clearly weak. My advice? Strike while the iron is hot, get your application in now. Best of all, this isn’t something that can be rectified anytime soon. Who said the days of a job for life were gone?!

Of course, I’m not sure where that leaves Irish translators working into English. Probably busy trying to muster enough rusty Gaeilge to help plug the shortfall of EU translators into Irish. Mind you, they’ll need more than a bit of luck to find an up-to-date and/or in-print version of an official Irish grammar, or any kind of relevant language materials for that matter…
