The event lacks skilled translators for training in the Armed Forces - Financial Times
"Translators are number one call," said Martin Bonn, the Dutch Brigade General, who is the deputy chairman of the EU multinational educational mission. Since November 2022, Ukrainian soldiers have been trained to master specific weapons and tactics. Kyiv and Western capitals provide translators, which are often quite difficult to cope with the available vocabulary.
By the end of 2023, 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers will be trained in Germany, which is part of a broader initiative to teach Ukrainian troops. A total of 63,000 soldiers were sent to the west. "A big problem is the translation of words used in a military or technical context . . . words that no one uses in everyday life," Bonn explains. However, instructors do not spare words in the praise of fighters for motivation.
The Ukrainian military expressed pleasure in the fact that they learned in the click about the Leopard 1 A5 tank. However, they noted that newer technique is better than older. At the same time, problems with translators are not only in Germany, but also in Denmark, where about 8 pilots and dozens of auxiliary staff are studying at the F-16. We will remind, on August 8 in the Ministry of Defense of Britain showed staff of training of Ukrainian fighters in the United Kingdom.
