L’interprétation en milieu social, profil et mission en Belgique francophone

Abstract

Profile, missions and training are some of the main topics in community interpreting researches. This paper aims to give a clear view about the situation in French speaking Belgium. The state of the art and some statistics make it clear that this discipline is improving more and more, but without academic training programs, recognition and professionalization, this will be difficult to achieve.
