observer Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Seems taxpayers are forking out £100million per year in translation services. The biggest spender is the NHS paying out around £33million, with the Ministry of Justice spending £16million. The top language translated is Polish; but one Council has helped with 61 languages, including Fulani, Karen, Tagalog and Visayan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
