Of the 10 countries that joined the European union in 2004, Cyprus was the only one that did not bring a new language to DG Translation, since Greek was already an official language of the EU. Yet the Cypriot Greek dialect possesses its own very distinct taste and flavour, even in unexpected fields like legal terminology. In this episode, Spyros Armostis and Georgios Floros from the University of Cyprus delve into the island's linguistic landscape, shedding light on the phenomenon of diglossia and describing the growing prestige of the Cypriot Greek dialect. They also share the story of how the translation of Cyprus's post-independence legal system, initially planned to take 5 years, ultimately stretched over 3 decades!

That is how Ildikó Faber, the first Hungarian recruited in DG Translation in Luxembourg, and Zsolt Varga, who was number 4 in the Field Office in Budapest, describe the spirit among DGT Hungarian translators in 2004, when their country joined the EU. They recall how interesting and fun it was to create EU terminology in fields like fisheries (not much developed in a land-locked country…) and walk us through some of the specificities of their agglutinative language.

Three ‘big-bangers’ – Ivars Apinis, Valda Liepina and Liena Muskare – share their memories of the beginnings of the Latvian language department, 20 years ago. With some sound from Latvia (a waltz, a metal band and a famous poem), they recall their adventures, their excitement, their hopes, and also the many challenges they faced, with huge piles of documents to handle and numerous terminology gaps to fill in while slowly recruiting new colleagues.
