Catalan parliament used Castellano-Catalan interpreter in official negotiations

A Catalan-Castellano interpreter was paid for by the Parliament (the Junta of Catalunya) during recent trade discussions with a diputation from Nicaragua.

The interpreter did bugger all but sit there, “but needed to be there in case a question in Catalan was asked”.

I was going to say something nasty about these fringe languages, but remembering the Galician fiasco thought I’d better keep my mouth shut.

Must be fun to be able to spend somebody elses money.
