INTERPRETER POOL
INTERPRETER POOLStudents tear down language barriers
Those who need to make a visit to the authorities but are afraid that their German language skills are insufficient can now turn to the interpreter pool in the Germersheim region. Thirty students of the Faculty of Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) help during interviews with social services, the youth welfare office, and other government authorities. The interpreter pool was set up in early 2012; the Rhineland-Palatinate Commissioner for Integration will finance the project in 2013.
