A wake-up call yes, but at what price for Humanity? Mar 19, 2020

It is even a greater wake-up call to show how fragile is our globalised society.

Hi

I don't think this pandemic situation will affect the written translation.
Is video conference useful for the official documents ? for academic thesis ? for technology reports ?

Question: Is the Corona Pandemic the biggest wake-up call to enhance our remote interpreting skills?
Answer. No. If you have to ask what the Corona Pandemic is you must be on Mars.

I think it is not only a big wake-up call for remote interpreting, but it may change the way we work permanently.
