Prepare the language work early
Share the purpose, agenda and relevant background materials with the language team. Terminology, acronyms and institutional language are easier to handle when there is time to prepare.
Design a meeting people can follow
Consider interpretation needs when planning the format and pace. Clear speaking, sensible pauses and well-structured materials help participants engage across languages.
Review meaning in context
Written translation should be reviewed for its audience and purpose. A policy brief, public campaign and meeting record each require attention to register, terminology and intended use.
