Interpreters
A strong team of local African language
volunteers is presently being recruited and will
be trained in Dakar. We will also need a number
of experienced and professional interpreters
from outside Senegal for other languages. The
list of required languages will be compiled from
the list of speakers and the requests of the
participant delegations, but will mainly be
French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Arabic.
Due to budgetary constraints, we can only select
volunteers from Africa and Europe. Tickets from
the Americas or Asia are unfortunately too
expensive. In accordance with Babels rules, we
will ensure there is a balance of experienced
and first-time interpreters in the booths. The
selection process will also be transparent and
inclusive. We will document every step of the
selection process and report on it publicly, via
the Babels forum and mailing list.
Availability: we will be organizing training
sessions for community interpreters prior to the
Forum. If you can come earlier to help with this
training, with the additional forums or general logistic tasks please tell us.
The WSF-OC will pay for your ticket and
accommodation. There will be a per diem of 15000
cfa/day (22?) to cover your food and transport
(which will cost less than that). Accommodation
will probably be in shared flats. More
information on logistics will be provided later on.
If you are interested in participating, please
go to the following URL:
<http://goo.gl/KV1me>http://goo.gl/KV1me
<http://goo.gl/KV1me> and fill out the form. We
will contact you shortly to confirm your
registration. If you are selected, we will inform you as early as possible.

Senegal, people from neighboring countries
(Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali,
Mauritania), but groups from Europe, Americas,
Asia etc are also expected. It will be given
priority to those who are interested in
