  Arabic, Urdu, Pashto, and various other Middle
  Eastern languages has increased by 75 percent or
  more. To meet this growing need, since the
  beginning of FY 2001, we have recruited
  nearly 700 new translators, including both FBI
  employees and contract linguists. More than 95
  percent of our translators are native speakers of
  the foreign language. Their native proficiencies
  equip them with both a firm grasp of colloquial
  and idiomatic speech, and an understanding of the
  religious, cultural, and historical references
  needed to effectively perform the wide range of
  services required of an FBI linguist. To further

Linguistic rights as human rightsDietrich
Kappeler, ex-director de la Academia Mediterránea
de Estudios Diplomáticos.

• Documents exchanged between countries in the
  past were written in the single vehicular
  language then in use in Europe Latin. In the
  18th century French had become the generally
  accepted diplomatic language, so much so that
  even diplomatic notes addressed to the British
  Foreign Office by the Legation of the USA were
  written in that language. The 20th century saw a
  gradual emergence of English as a second and
  later even dominant diplomatic language. At the
  same time, a growing number of countries insisted
  on the use of their own language in diplomatic
  correspondence and joint diplomatic documents. As
  a result the United Nations admitted to five
  languages at its inception (Chinese, English,
  French, Russian and Spanish), to which Arabic has
  later been added by informal agreement. In the
  European Union, all twelve languages of the
  members are currently in use and their number is
  bound to grow as new members will be admitted.

Errores diplomáticos (Cont.)

• George W. Bush poco después de los ataques
  terroristas del 11 de septiembre en EE.UU, el
  presidente Bush usó la palabra cruzada para
  describir la lucha de los EE.UU. contra el
  terrorismo. Obviamente, o Bush no era consciente
  de la connotación de esta palabra en el mundo
  árabe, o él y su gabinete de gobierno querían
  provocar al mundo árabe. Los árabes asocian esta
  palabra con las invasiones europeas de sus
  países, invasiones que se hicieron en nombre de
  la cruz (símbolo del cristianismo) y que
  iniciaron la guerra entre el cristianismo y el
  islam. Desde entonces, Bush ha intentado muchas
  veces convencer al mundo de que no quiso usar la
  palabra en ese sentido.
