Training interpreters for the European project: the first interpreting internship of the European institutions
Abstract
The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC, 1952), forerunner of the European Union (EU), was the first joint European project. It was followed shortly afterwards by the European Economic Community (EEC) and Euratom (1957). In order to succeed, these common projects had to provide effective communication in four languages (Dutch, French, German and Italian). This article is part of a comprehensive, broad-based study of the first interpreting service in what, over time, has become the European Union (EU). Based on written and oral sources, the study analyses the way in which the ECSC established and managed a dedicated linguistic service which included an interpreting section. The interpreting service at the ECSC developed its own in-house interpreter internship programme in 1957/1958. This article discusses the earliest years of the programme and makes a contribution to the history of interpreting as a profession within the EU.
