This glossary comes in the excel and numbers formats. It is in English and aids the process of learning relevant knowledge for interpreters by encouraging them to manually identify and record their translations into their other languages — it is by far the most effective way to learn and practice the vocabulary. You will thank us later ;-)
We know though that life can get very busy, and if you would like to order a translation of this glossary in your other language please contact us to discuss details. We are here to help you in all stages of the process.
