The 26^th September is the European Day of Languages, an initiative dreamed up by the Council of Europe. The day’s activities celebrate linguistic diversity in Europe, promoting the learning and use of all 200+ indigenous languages of Europe as well as the hundreds of other languages and dialects from other geographical areas. Today promotes these linguistic and cultural differences that must be preserved and encouraged.

“Linguistic diversity is a tool for achieving greater intercultural understanding and a key element in the rich cultural heritage of our continent” (from the official website https://edl.ecml.at)

This is a celebration for all of us who work on a daily basis with the various European and world languages, facilitating communication in all areas of personal and professional life, we make our contribution to achieve comprehension in interpersonal relations of all kinds.

A Certified Translation is a translation accompanied by certification, written and signed by the translator of the document, which states that the translated text is an accurate and complete rendering of the original document. The signed statement is often called a “Certificate of Accuracy”.
A Sworn Translation is a translation testified by a certified translator in front of a solicitor or, in Italy’s case, a Court Chancellor. A sworn translation confers legal validity to the translated document, so it will be valid for any permitted purposes. A Statutory Declaration (formerly “Affidavit” or “Sworn Affidavit”) is a formal document attesting the translation’s accuracy and provenance, sworn by an official translator under oath before a solicitor or chancellor. Statutory declarations are accepted in England and Wales, where the declaration is bound together with the original document and the translation, resulting in one bound document.
Legalisation Services: Legalisation/Apostille certification is required for translated documents to be used with countries that adhere to the Hague Convention treaty. The process essentially involves the same steps as those for a Sworn Translation, except that the documents resulting from this process are then presented to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or, Italy’s case, to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The Public Prosecutor’s Office issues a final document which confirms that the chancellor signing the sworn translation had the authority to do so, applying an Apostille Stamp.

Communication is how people share their ideas, opinions and feelings, or convey information. Sharing contributes positively both to the work of teams and individuals.

This transfer of information and knowledge is the process by which the sender/ source reaches the receiver/ destination with thoughts, ideas, feelings, data and values. Successful communication is achieved when the receiver not only receives the message but also interprets and uses it in the manner intended by the source.

Communication is the art of transmitting information, ideas and attitudes between two or more people.
