A MULTILINGUAL WORLD THE IALA SPANISH SUPPORT TEAMS

摘要

The IALA World-Wide Academy (WWA) aims to facilitate and deliver an increased number of IALA model courses and other publications in the Spanish language. An Accredited Training Organisation often has the ability to translate the course materials but many IALA publications, which are the backbone of the IALA model courses, are in English. In order to speed-up and better coordinate the translations into Spanish, the WWA who are, due to the nature of their work, are very active with the Spanish speaking countries, devised a system for this. Liaising between Spanish speaking countries an agreement has been reached with Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Spain, Venezuela and Uruguay to implement a programme for translations in order to balance the work between countries. This system allows a country to decline a translation request when they do not have the resources to deliver at the moment of the request.
