Wow. The U.N. translation thing makes sense, from an ease-and-personpower perspective, but have you ever heard or read the difference between a translation (always a certain amount of inaccuracy due to impossibility of exactly translating certain percentage of words or phrases) and a translation of a translation? International affairs seems a perilous place for that sort of squirreliness! Of course, maybe that explains some things….

I must say,listening to a simulatneous translation of a simulataneous translation must be interesting, if not accurate.
