Question NW1457 to the Minister of Arts and Culture
24 May 2016 - NW1457
Mulder, Dr PW to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture
(1) Whether his department has a database of all available translators in each of the national departments, national bodies and national entities; if not why not; if so, (2) how many translators are able to perform translation work in each national department, national body and national entity respectively? (3) Whether he has taken steps or is planning to take steps with regard to the building of capacity in respect of translation services in national departments, national bodies and national entities; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
In relation to the question of translators in other departments, I am unable to provide answers since these departments are not accountable to me. The honourable Member must feel free to ask each of the departments of government and their respective entities.
