Although a bit out of practice, I made my best effort at translating an interview with two Argentine colleagues on Laura Flanders' show, GRIT TV. Claudia Acuña and Sergio Ciancaglini, of the Buenos Aires-based LaVaca Journalism Collective, also spoke at a big forum at Cooper Union on 5/15 called FIRE THE BOSS: The Worker Control Solution from Buenos Aires to Chicago, with Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, Armando Robles, Leah Fried and Brendan Martin.
about half way through, you two really got in sync - you translating her phrase while she paused for a breath (similar syntax in the two languages probably facilitated this)- it started to sound like simultaneous interpreting - good job - i would have been sweating bullets
[i know the content of the interview is the important thing - but i couldn't help commenting on the "interface" that made the interview possible]
