United Nations (Feb, 2024
–Mar, 2024) at Translator and interpreter in a UN conference
As a **Translator and Interpreter** at the United Nations, my role involves facilitating communication across linguistic and cultural barriers to support the UN's mission of promoting peace, human rights, and sustainable development. As a **translator**, I convert written documents, such as treaties, speeches, and reports, from one language into another while ensuring accuracy, clarity, and preservation of the original message's meaning and tone. This requires a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to convey complex political, legal, and technical content in a culturally sensitive manner.
As an **interpreter**, I provide real-time oral translation during meetings, conferences, and negotiations, ensuring smooth and effective communication between delegates speaking different languages. I must maintain a high level of linguistic proficiency, quick thinking, and diplomacy, particularly in high-pressure, fast-paced settings. This role demands not only linguistic skills but also a deep understanding of international relations, UN protocols, and global issues, as well as the ability to remain impartial and confidential in all translations. My work is vital in supporting the diplomatic process and ensuring that the UN’s work is accessible to all member states, fostering dialogue and collaboration on the global stage.
