The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is developing a training programme for community interpreters to equip them to interpret for people who have experienced sexual violence, for example in situations such as with the Gardai, going through medical/forensic examinations, the legal system and counselling.

The approach is participative and will include lecture, group discussion, video footage, role play, case study.

A Certificate of Attendance will be provided to participants who complete the two day programme.

Fianna Fáil recently launched their own Polish pages to invite members to join the party. It shows a very interesting trend in Ireland and the depth of Polish nationals in Ireland.

Trying to decide what the best font and style to use on your next international site can be tricky. Especially when you are trying to see if your foreign character sets will be ok.

A great site to visit that allows you to try various styles/fonts and sizes is the typetester site from Maratz. http://typetester.maratz.com/
