New markets through multilingualism: The main conclusions of a survey financed by the European Commission and presented in spring 2007 show that, without language skills, firms are missing opportunities.
Novi trgi zaradi večjezičnosti: Med glavnimi izsledki raziskave, ki jo je financirala in spomladi leta 2007 predstavila Evropska komisija, je ugotovitev, da podjetja brez znanja jezikov zamujajo poslovne priložnosti.
It is estimated that 11 % of exporting European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (945 000 companies) are losing contracts because of language barriers.
Po nekaterih ocenah 11 % izvoznih majhnih in srednje velikih podjetij (945 000 podjetij) zaradi jezikovnih ovir izgublja naročila.
A more active investment in languages — appointing native speakers, recruiting staff with language skills, or using translators and interpreters — would boost European business to an extent clearly outweighing any additional burden or cost.
Dejavne naložbe v znanje jezikov, npr. zaposlovanje naravnih govorcev jezika in osebja z znanjem jezikov ter uporaba tolmaških in prevajalskih storitev, bi evropskim podjetjem dale zagon, ki bi brez dvoma upravičil morebitne višje stroške.
Languages boost competitiveness: In order to increase the awareness of business stakeholders of the key role of multilingualism for economic competitiveness, the Commission organised, later in 2007, a conference entitled ‘Languages mean business’.
Jeziki povečujejo konkurenčnost: Za ozaveščanje podjetij o pomenu večjezičnosti za gospodarsko konkurenčnost je Komisija septembra 2007 pripravila konferenco „Znanje jezikov se obrestuje“.
To take these ideas forward, a group of leading business representatives was set up to examine how to turn Europe’s languages into a competitive advantage.
Za nadaljnje razvijanje teh idej je bila ustanovljena skupina vodilnih predstavnikov gospodarstva, ki naj bi raziskala, kako evropsko jezikovno raznolikost spremeniti v konkurenčno prednost.
Their report, presented in 2008, recommends that national governments promote the learning of a wide range of languages, and that national, regional and local bodies support companies’ eorts to improve language management strategies.
V svojem poročilu, predstavljenem v letu 2008, je skupina vladam držav članic priporočila, naj spodbujajo učenje široke palete jezikov, organom na nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni ravni pa, naj podprejo prizadevanja podjetij pri razvijanju boljših strategij upravljanja z jeziki.
It suggested expanding current exchange programmes to cater for new target groups, in conjunction with a more proactive and inventive approach from individual companies themselves.
Predlagala je tudi razširitev sedanjih programov izmenjav na nove ciljne skupine ter proaktivnejše in domiselnejše ravnanje samih podjetij.
A platform for exchange: Acting on one of the key recommendations, the Commission plans to set up a permanent European platform on languages for business in autumn 2009.
Platforma za izmenjavo: Na podlagi enega ključnih priporočil Komisija za jesen 2009 načrtuje ustanovitev stalne evropske platforme o jezikih v poslovnem svetu.
This will give business, trade unions, chambers of commerce, schools and education authorities a forum to discuss best practice in addressing the mismatch between business needs and education provision.
Ta naj bi podjetjem, sindikatom, gospodarskim zbornicam, šolam in organom, pristojnim za izobraževanje, služila kot forum za razpravo o tem, kako učinkovito premostiti neskladje med izobraževalno ponudbo in potrebami gospodarstva.
Ideas being examined include extending mobility programmes so new groups have an opportunity to practise language skills in real-life situations, and promoting Internet-based translation tools for small firms with limited access to multilingual sta.
Trenutno se pretresajo zamisli, kot so razširitev programov mobilnosti, tako da bi tudi druge ciljne skupine imele priložnost uporabiti jezikovna znanja v resničnih okoliščinah, in spodbujanje uporabe spletnih prevajalskih orodij v majhnih podjetjih z omejenim številom večjezičnega osebja.
Languages for better jobs and opportunities
Jeziki za boljše priložnosti in delovna mesta
Language learning is not an aim in itself but should provide prospects for each individual.
Učenje jezikov ni cilj samo po sebi, temveč bi moralo vsakomur odpirati nove možnosti.
For this reason, the 2008 strategy paper also argues that multilingualism can unlock the full potential of the single market in terms of better jobs and prosperity.
Zato strateški dokument iz leta 2008 navaja tudi, da je mogoče z večjezičnostjo sprostiti celotni potencial enotnega trga v smislu blaginje in boljših delovnih mest.
Mobility meets languages: Worker mobility in Europe is already a reality for the 2 % of working-age citizens who live and work in another Member State.
Mobilnost in jeziki: Mobilnost delavcev v Evropi je že zdaj resničnost za 2 % delovno aktivnih državljanov, ki živijo in delajo v drugi državi članici.
The barrier most cited as holding others back from seeking fresh opportunities is that they or their families lack language skills.
Največkrat omenjena ovira, ki zadržuje druge pri iskanju novih priložnosti v tujini, je pomanjkanje jezikovnega znanja pri njih ali pri njihovih družinskih članih.
So the Commission is encouraging full use of exchanges, partnerships and e-twinning in education and training programmes.
Zato Komisija spodbuja k čim večjemu izkoristku izmenjav, partnerstev in spletnega povezovanja (e-twinning) v programih izobraževanja in usposabljanja.
Mobility schemes such as those supported by the ‘Lifelong learning’ and ‘Youth in action’ programmes are fruitful, but should be more widely available.
Projekti mobilnosti, kot so npr. tisti v okviru programa vseživljenjskega učenja in programa Mladi v akciji, so že obrodili sadove, vendar bi jih bilo treba ponuditi v večjem obsegu.
Increased employability for everyone: The European Commission has started a permanent campaign to raise awareness of the added value of language learning for employability: anyone who has more than one foreign language and demonstrates the intercultural skills that this brings has more chances of obtaining a better job.
Povečana zaposljivost za vsakogar: Evropska komisija je sprožila stalno kampanjo ozaveščanja o dodani vrednosti učenja jezikov za zaposljivost: vsakdo z znanjem več kot enega tujega jezika in s tem povezanimi medkulturnimi znanji ima večje možnosti za boljšo zaposlitev.
Migrants’ potential: There are almost twice as many non-EU migrants in Member States as there are migrants from other EU countries.
Potencial priseljencev: V državah članicah je priseljencev iz držav zunaj EU skoraj dvakrat več kot priseljencev iz drugih držav EU.
These workers often have to struggle to acquire the language skills they need to find employment and fully integrate into a new society.
Ti delavci pogosto z velikimi težavami pridobivajo jezikovna znanja, ki jih potrebujejo za zaposlitev in popolno vključitev v družbo.
Eorts to increase language knowledge must stretch beyond schoolchildren to all family members.
Prizadevanja za boljše jezikovno znanje bi morala zajemati vse družinske člane in ne le šoloobveznih otrok.
The Commission has seen good examples in some Member States which others could learn from.
Komisija je v nekaterih državah članicah zasledila primere dobre prakse, po katerih bi se drugi lahko zgledovali.
Providing multilingual services and promoting dialogue provide broader social and economic benefits to the community as a whole.
S ponudbo večjezičnih storitev in spodbujanjem dialoga se zagotovijo družbene in gospodarske prednosti celotni skupnosti.
Migrants are also a precious source of language skills for contacts in a globalised world.
Poleg tega imajo priseljenci dragocen jezikovni potencial za sporazumevanje v globaliziranem svetu.
Translation — a common language
Prevajanje – skupni jezik
Access to literature in another language is a key to becoming familiar with wider aspects of culture and thought.
Dostop do pisane besede v drugem jeziku je ključen za spoznavanje širših vidikov kulture in misli.
As the Maalouf Group rightly pointed out, learning a language that is close to one’s heart is a gateway to understanding its history, culture and people.
Kot je pravilno poudarila skupina Amina Maaloufa, se z učenjem jezika, ki nam je blizu, odpirajo vrata do razumevanja zgodovine, kulture in uporabnikov tega jezika.
That is why the Commission has put such an emphasis on translation.
Prav zato Komisija pripisuje prevajanju tako velik pomen.
Facilitating access to culture: ‘Translation is the language of Europe’, as Umberto Eco famously said.
Lažji dostop do kulture: „Prevajanje je jezik Evrope,“ kot se glasi znani citat Umberta Eca. Književno prevajanje je finančno podprto v okviru kulturne politike, saj je glasnik evropske kulturne dediščine in spodbuja medkulturni dialog.
The Commission’s ‘Culture’ programme (2007–13) has already helped to finance the translation of several thousand works of literature, the EU being one of the most important financers of literary translation in Europe.
Program „Kultura“ (2007–2013), ki poteka pod okriljem Komisije, je s finančnimi sredstvi že pripomogel k prevodom več tisoč književnih del. EU je tako eden najpomembnejših mecenov književnega prevajanja v Evropi.
The European debate: Literary translation is clearly also related to wider multilingualism policy: it is the most direct way of abolishing language barriers and building bridges between people and languages.
Evropska razprava: Književno prevajanje je seveda povezano tudi s širšo politiko večjezičnosti, predstavlja namreč najbolj neposreden način premagovanja jezikovnih ovir in gradnje mostov med ljudmi in jeziki.
In November 2008, the Commission invited eminent writers, translators, publishers, academics and journalists, but also filmmakers and theatre producers, to an event attended by the President, Mr Barroso.
Novembra 2008 je Komisija na srečanje, ki se ga je udeležil tudi predsednik Barroso, povabila ugledne pisce, prevajalce, založnike, akademike in novinarje, pa tudi filmske in gledališke ustvarjalce.
This provided ideas and suggestions for a conference on the same subject in April 2009.
Nastale so ideje in predlogi za konferenco o isti temi aprila 2009.
The aim is to launch a Europe-wide debate on literary translation, which — in addition to being a sizeable industry — aids integration and communication between Europe’s cultures.
Cilj je sprožiti vseevropsko razpravo o književnem prevajanju, ki lahko pripomore k vključevanju in sporazumevanju med evropskimi kulturami ter je obenem precej pomembna gospodarska panoga.
Professionals from very dierent backgrounds will reflect upon the many aspects of translation and the role of translators as ‘cultural mediators’.
Najrazličnejši strokovnjaki bodo razmišljali o številnih vidikih prevajanja in vlogi prevajalcev kot „kulturnih posrednikov“.
Young translators: Aiming at attracting young people to the profession of translation, while oering them the challenge of a European competition, the European Commission launched, in 2007, a yearly contest called Juvenes Translatores.
Mladi prevajalci: Da bi mlade v okviru evropskega tekmovanja navdušili za poklic prevajalca, Evropska komisija od leta 2007 vsako leto priredi tekmovanje Juvenes Translatores.
The successful implementation of this project revealed a great interest in foreign languages among young people in secondary schools.
Uspeh tekmovanja je pokazal, da vlada med srednješolci veliko zanimanje za tuje jezike.
Professionals with language skills and trained interpreters help the institutions of multilingual societies to function.
Strokovnjaki z jezikovnimi znanji in usposobljeni tolmači pripomorejo k delovanju institucij v večjezičnih družbah.
They support migrant communities in courts, hospitals, police and immigration services, and thus contribute to safeguarding human and democratic rights.
Podpirajo priseljenske skupnosti na sodiščih, v bolnišnicah, na policijskih postajah in uradih za priseljevanje ter tako pomagajo varovati človekove in demokratične pravice.
The local dimension: To take a practical example: some cities and resorts in Europe have considerable experience of coping with the needs of tourists and foreign workers and students.
Lokalna razsežnost: Vzemimo primer iz prakse: nekatera mesta in turistični kraji v Evropi imajo veliko izkušenj s potrebami turistov ter tujih delavcev in študentov.
Basic information is available in dierent languages, and multilingual speakers act as mediators and interpreters, providing ready access and easing integration.
Osnovne informacije so na voljo v različnih jezikih, večjezični govorci pa prevzemajo vlogo posrednikov in tolmačev, ki lajšajo dostop do informacij in vključevanje.
The Commission encourages such initiatives, and supports the dissemination of good practice in this area.
Komisija spodbuja takšne pobude in podpira razširjanje dobre prakse na tem področju.
Similarly, the Commission has advised national contact points set up under the services directive to inform service providers and clients in a range of dierent languages.
Tudi nacionalnim kontaktnim točkam, ustanovljenim na podlagi Direktive o storitvah, je svetovala, naj ponudnike storitev in odjemalce informirajo v več jezikih.
Legal interpretation: In certain situations it is crucial to have proper language assistance to protect essential rights.
Sodno tolmačenje: V določenih situacijah je brez ustrezne jezikovne podpore nemogoče zagotoviti varovanje temeljnih pravic.
Increased mobility means that lawsuits in Europe frequently involve people with limited skills in the language of the court.
Zaradi povečane mobilnosti se sodnih postopkov v Evropi pogosto udeležujejo ljudje, ki so jezika sodišča vešči le v omejenem obsegu.
To look at this issue, a group of independent experts, the Reflection Forum on Multilingualism and Interpreter Training, was set up in 2008.
Z namenom preučevanja te problematike je bila leta 2008 ustanovljena skupina neodvisnih strokovnjakov, Forum za razmislek o večjezičnosti in usposabljanju tolmačev.
Reporting in March 2009, it recommended ways of spreading best practice and improving the quality of legal interpreting training in Member States.
Ta v svojem poročilu iz marca 2009 predlaga načine širjenja dobre prakse in izboljšanja kakovosti sodnega tolmačenja v državah članicah.
Languages in the health services are also vital to citizens’ wellbeing.
Tudi na področju zdravstva so jeziki življenjsko pomembni za dobrobit državljanov.
Greater mobility for work or leisure means health professionals increasingly need to understand patients in a language other than their own.
Večja mobilnost pri delu in v prostem času pomeni, da imajo zdravstveni delavci čedalje pogosteje opraviti s tujejezičnimi pacienti.
The emergency situations involved and the very specific vocabulary are a major challenge.
Dodaten izziv predstavljajo okoliščine nujne zdravstvene oskrbe in zelo specifično besedišče.
This is a very clear example of why the Commission encourages Member States to ‘mainstream’ multilingualism, i.e. include it in other policy areas.
Ta primer jasno ponazarja, zakaj Komisija države članice spodbuja k vključevanju večjezičnosti tudi na področja drugih politik.
The media — part of the answer: Virtually everyone in the EU has access to the media.
Mediji – del odgovora: Skoraj vsakdo v EU ima dostop do medijev.
The media can be an amazingly eective, informal means of motivating large numbers of people to learn languages in ways that are beyond the methods of formal education.
Mediji so lahko presenetljivo učinkovito sredstvo neformalne motivacije velikega števila ljudi za učenje jezikov na načine, ki presegajo metode formalnega izobraževanja.
TV programmes can spark interest in other cultures, encouraging people to learn new languages or brush up on old ones.
Televizijski programi lahko pri gledalcih vzbudijo zanimanje za druge kulture, jih pripravijo k učenju novih jezikov ali osveževanju že obstoječih jezikovnih znanj.
Websites support learners through education portals and other materials.
Podporo pri učenju nudi svetovni splet s posebnimi izobraževalnimi portali in različnimi učnimi gradivi.
And new technology allows viewers of foreign films to opt for subtitles, thus combining learning with pleasure.
Nove tehnologije gledalcem tujih filmov omogočajo uporabo podnapisov, s tem pa združevanje koristnega z zabavnim.
Aiming for more: The Commission, already active in this area, is launching a platform of civil society organisations and media representatives in autumn 2009 to exchange best practice in order to fully realise the potential language and cultural benefits.
Prizadevanja za več: Komisija, ki je na tem področju že dejavna, bo jeseni leta 2009 vzpostavila platformo, v okviru katere si bodo organizacije civilne družbe in predstavniki medijev lahko izmenjali primere dobre prakse, da bi tako kar najbolje izkoristili jezikovne in kulturne potenciale.
New technologies, the way to the future
Nove tehnologije, pot v prihodnost
State-of-the-art technology already maximises the eciency of EU in-house interpreters and translators.
S pomočjo najsodobnejše tehnologije lahko tolmači in prevajalci v institucijah EU že danes delajo kar najbolj učinkovito.
But some of the web-based language tools recently developed by the Commission are designed to serve the needs of a much wider public.
Nekatera spletna jezikovna orodja, ki jih je v zadnjem času razvila Komisija, pa so bila že zasnovana za potrebe širše javnosti.
The Speech Repository: Europe needs interpreters trained to high standards, but it has been hard to find adequate practice material.
Zbirka govorov: Evropa potrebuje visoko usposobljene tolmače, vendar je bilo doslej težko najti ustrezno gradivo za vajo.
This toolbox now provides a solution for universities — and for staff and freelance interpreters as well.
Zdaj je tako za univerze kot za tolmače (za osebje institucij in zunanje, samostojne tolmače) na voljo rešitev.
Developed by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Interpretation with help from the other institutions, it is a database containing real-life speeches from national and international organisations.
Služba Komisije za tolmačenje je namreč v sodelovanju z drugimi institucijami razvila zbirko podatkov, ki vsebuje govore iz nacionalnih in mednarodnih organizacij.
Speeches are graded at various levels of diculty, and students can download clips and record their interpretation.
Študenti lahko posnetke govorov, ki so razvrščeni po težavnostni stopnji, prenesejo in posnamejo svoje tolmačenje.
The system aims to improve the skills of university students in conference interpretation, and help professional interpreters add languages to their language combinations.
Cilj je bodočim in že v svojem poklicu dejavnim konferenčnim tolmačem pomagati pri izboljšanju njihovih sposobnosti in dopolnjevanju njihovih jezikovnih kombinacij z novimi jeziki.
The aim is to cover as many languages as possible.
Pri tem naj bi bilo v zbirko vključenih čim več jezikov.
IATE, or Inter-Active Terminology for Europe, is a centralised terminology database for all the institutions of the European Union.
IATE ali Interaktivna terminologija za Evropo je centralizirana terminološka zbirka podatkov za vse institucije Evropske unije, ki je dostopna javnosti od junija 2007.
Opened to the public in June 2007, IATE provides a single access point to nearly 1.4 million multilingual entries from all the institutions, all carefully checked.
IATE na enem mestu omogoča dostop do skoraj 1,4 milijona skrbno preverjenih enojezičnih vnosov iz vseh institucij.
It is updated regularly, and will be extended to cater for new needs.
Zbirka se redno posodablja in bo v prihodnje glede na nove potrebe ustrezno razširjena.
Interactive conferences and chats are among the Interpretation DG’s hi-tech options for multilingual communication.
Interaktivne konference in klepeti so visokotehnološke možnosti za večjezično sporazumevanje v okviru službe za tolmačenje.
They allow real-time interaction by participants around the world, who can follow events in their own language, and even have their contributions translated.
Udeležencem z vsega sveta omogočajo, da v lastnem jeziku sledijo dogodkom, ki se odvijajo v realnem času, pri čemer so prevedeni tudi njihovi lastni prispevki.
‘Webcasting’, for example, allows people located elsewhere to follow a conference in any of the languages being simultaneously interpreted in the meeting room.
Spletni prenos ali t. i. „webcasting“ na primer ljudem na oddaljenih lokacijah omogoča sodelovanje na konferenci v katerem koli jeziku, za katerega je v konferenčni dvorani zagotovljeno tolmačenje.
Multilingual online chats make it possible for citizens to participate in an ‘open dialogue’ on topical issues.
Večjezični spletni klepeti državljanom omogočajo sodelovanje v „odprtem dialogu“ o aktualnih vprašanjih.
Remote participants can type questions or comments in their own language.
Oddaljeni udeleženci lahko pošljejo vprašanja ali pripombe v svojem lastnem jeziku.
Their questions are read out (and interpreted) in the meeting room, and they hear the answer in their language through web-streamed interpretation.
Vprašanje se prebere (in prevede) v konferenčni dvorani, oddaljeni udeleženci pa prek spletnega prenosa slišijo odgovor, preveden v njihov jezik.
All these technologies, by extending the benefits of multilingualism beyond the institutions, help bring the EU closer to its citizens and encourage understanding and dialogue.
Vse te tehnologije širijo prednosti večjezičnosti zunaj okvirov institucij, s čimer prispevajo k približevanju EU državljanom ter spodbujajo razumevanje in dialog.
The EU has created de facto an open space for dialogue.
EU je dejansko ustvarila odprt prostor za dialog.
Far from being a ‘tower of Babel’, the linguistic regime in the European institutions is a functional reality.
Institucije EU še zdaleč niso nekakšen babilonski stolp, temveč so vzor delujoče večjezičnosti.
Multilingualism works today — a success story of enlargement: With all of the Commission legislation and many of its publications being multilingual, the Commission has developed the world’s largest, most technically advanced translation and interpretation services.
Večjezičnost deluje – zgodba o uspehu širitve: Zaradi zagotavljanja zakonodaje in mnogih drugih publikacij v najrazličnejših jezikih je Komisija vzpostavila največji in tehnično najbolj napredni službi za prevajanje in tolmačenje na svetu.
While the balance between demand and resources has become more delicate over time, a founding principle of the Union, namely equality of all ocial languages, has been upheld.
Čeprav je ravnovesje med povpraševanjem in razpoložljivim viri vedno težje ohranjati, temeljnega načela Unije, tj. enakosti vseh jezikov, ni mogoče omajati.
Never before have former enemies decided to pool large parts of their sovereignty, as equals, on an entirely voluntary basis.
Nikoli prej se ni zgodilo, da bi se nekdaj sovražne države kot enakopravne partnerice povsem prostovoljno odrekle velikemu delu svoje suverenosti.
To do this calls for a phenomenal amount of mutual trust and cooperation.
Za to je bilo potrebno izjemno veliko medsebojnega zaupanja in sodelovanja.
And just as no country imposes its will on others, no single language would suce.
In tako kot nobena od držav ne vsiljuje svoje volje drugim, ne bi mogel zadoščati en sam jezik.
EU documents are laws which have to be applied by governments, by companies, and by citizens.
Dokumenti EU so zakoni, ki jih morajo uporabljati in upoštevati vlade, podjetja in državljani.
The public must be able to read and understand them, and their elected representatives must be able to debate in Europe without being hampered by language diculties.
Napisani morajo biti v jeziku, ki ga ljudje lahko berejo in razumejo, njihovim demokratično izvoljenim predstavnikom pa mora biti omogočeno, da na evropski ravni razpravljajo, ne da bi jih pri tem ovirale jezikovne težave.
When decisions are taken, they need to know exactly what they are signing up to.
Ko se sprejemajo odločitve, morajo ti ljudje natančno vedeti, kaj podpisujejo.
