Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath assumes duties

ANURA, PLEASE HAVE A TRANSLATOR WHEN YOU SPEAK SO THAT ALL THOSE WHO VOTED FOR YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS. Monday, 18 November 2024 09:15 PM

ANY OFFICIAL TRANSLATOR WHO IS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED AS A TRANSLATOR. LIKE SOME OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THEIR TRANSLATORS TRAVEL WITH GOVT OFFICIALS. IT IS BEST SO THAT ALL THOSE LOGGING INTO THE EVENTS HE SPEAKS IN OVERSEAS AND IN OUR COUNTRY CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING.

if that's a wow for you, how many wow's you need when you see the Leaders of Chinese, Japanese and almost all European countries carry out their duties perfectly in their own languages ?

SOME SRI LANKANS APPEAR NOT TO KNOW THAT TRANSLATING FROM ONE LAUNGAGE TO ANOTHER IS A FORM OF EMPLOYMENT AROUND THE WORD. Tuesday, 19 November 2024 12:13 AM

VERY... GO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HOW SOME PEOPLE DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AT ALL AND HAVE TRANSLATORS EVEN TO GO SEE A DOCTOR, I MEAN SOME CITIZENS AND OR TOURISTS HAVE TOUR GUIDES TRANSLATING FOR THEM, SO WHAT IS WRONG IF ANURA NEEDS A TRANSLATOR WHEN HIS MESSAGES ARE BEING TRANSMITTED AROUND THE WORLD, TV STATIONS HAVE THEIR OWN TRANSLATORS THOUGH SOME GOVTS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE QUALIFIED REGISTERED TRANSLATORS EMPLOYED BY THEM TO SERVICE THE CITIZENS AND OR WHO EVER NEEDS A TRANSLATOR.

Are you from the cylinder of empty gas. Remember empty vessels makes a bigger sound.

Chinese, Japanese and all other nations who do not speak in English, are educated in English. They can understand, read and write English. So, don't be stupid to compare such superpowers with our JVP Muts. A degree from Kelaniya University cannot compete with the educational qualifications obtained by the highly educated professionals in the countries you have mentioned here. If a document in English is presented at a meeting held with foreign dignitaries, they will know what's in it right at that moment without depending on interpreters. So, learn the difference please.
