 quoted putting the size of those commitments much higher, at between €60 and €100 billion.
Ministers have rejected those figures, but conceded in July that the UK must meet its financial “obligations” to the EU.
Two other anonymous sources were quoted putting the sum at between €30-40 billion.
The comments strike a very different tone to the one used by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson before the parliamentary recess, in which he told EU leaders they could “go whistle” if they wanted an “exorbitant” payment from the UK. But the figure was dismissed as “highly speculative and wrong” by a Downing Street official.
Stephen Gethins, the SNP’s Europe spokesman, said: “The contradictions and counter-briefings on this issue highlight the utterly shambolic state of this Tory government, and the dangers its damaging approach to negotiations with the EU poses to every part of the UK.
“The status and progress of the UK’s negotiations with the EU rests on the Conservatives agreeing to meet financial obligations and making progress on the final settlement bill. But over a year on, and the Tory government still flounders over one of the key issues.
“The confusion and contradiction on this issue lays bare the total inconsistency and lack of strategy that risks the UK’s economy, job prospects, business security and opportunities for young people.
“Theresa May must put an end to the leaks and briefings and instead set out clearly her strategy before the Tories head into the next round of negotiations – the PM must also guarantee a seat at the table for devolved administrations, which is something there is widespread support for.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable said the contradictory briefings showed the UK’s negotiating position was “an utter shambles”.
“Whatever amount the government proposes, their Brexit supporters won’t understand why it is being paid when their campaign promised otherwise,” Mr Cable said.
EU negotiators insist that talks on a future trade deal with the UK cannot take place until “sufficient progress” has been made on agreeing a Brexit financial settlement, securing the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and finding a solution for the Irish border.
Progress on those priorities will be assessed by EU heads of government at a summit in October.
The £36 billion figure was rejected by prominent Brexiteers on the Conservative backbenches.Language forms an important part in whatever case it may deal with. If language is not correct then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains pending; if this remains undone, Art and morals will degrade; if justice vanishes, people will remain in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no intolerance in what is said which is what matters above everything.
How language forms the important factor in translation?
- Language translation and interpretation has been described using various terms like internationalization, localization, globalization and translation.
- With importing and exporting transactions taking place widely interpreters and translators are in to transferring documents, agreements, manuals and conversations from source to target language.
- If a break down occurs at the level of communication results in commerce breaks off which leads to loss of billions of dollars and opportunities.
- This shows how important is language in translating and the interpreters who work on these.
- Depending on the language you are translating, the same language may be translated differently between countries because of the words which convey different meanings based on the location they are used.
- Mistranslation of the meaning or word becomes offensive and in cases few of the literal translations are not correct always.
- By keeping the original message and meaning from the source in the translation process becomes more of an art than science.
Translator specializations
Translation deals with the method of converting a meaning of text from one language in to another language. The following are few specializations of translators:
Technical translators: Technical translators will be specialized in technical and scientific field and deals in translating technical and scientific documents. It is required to have some knowledge with respect to the subject field.
Literary translators: Translators of this type translates literature between various languages they deal in translating journal articles, poetry, books and short stories. Along with creative writing this translation needs adequate writing of the content in particular language.
Legal translators: Translators in this specialization translate legal documents like court orders, laws and treaties. They ensure to perform the task by even translating the unclear or doubtful statements.
Localization translators: They deal with converting the entire product in to different language and culture such as internet, software or manufacturing products.
- They should possess strong language skills, audience which obtains the product and technical terminology.
- The primary aim of this specialization is to make the product to be appeared similar to that of the produced product by the target selling country.
- In few situations these translators will be computer sensitive and should have specific software or scientific knowledge skills.
In present days, language translation and interpretation are being used in every sphere of daily life from school or university level to business end. The above article gives information regarding the important of language in translation and the various specializations associated with translators.LIBER is pleased to reveal the programme and Keynote Speakers for its 2014 Annual Conference, to be held in the National Library of Lativa.

Her talk is entitled Crowdsourcing Content Management: Challenges and Opportunities. She says: flavors, from gamification to human computation and grand challenges, and discuss how it could be used to turn conventional content management applications into social machines in which tasks are performed as optimal combinations of human and computational intelligence. We will analyze the most important building blocks of such systems, as well as design and participation best practices that should guide their development.

He says: and pays special interest to the issues described above. The presentation will highlight the various pitfalls and challenges involved in the open science arena, which may be of interest for research libraries.In the part of the movie when everyone sings the song "Masquerade" near the end of the song the Phantom pops up and he starts singing his song. Now when he's walking down the stairs look at his hands and you see he doesn't have the play in his hands. Two seconds later though he just grabs it out of nowhere and throws it down. I have seen this movie many times and it bothers me everytime I watch it.
Actually, he pulls it out from under his cloak.Space is near with engineer!
The profession of an engineer is not so popular today as it was 15-20 years ago. But it’s worth saying that our future completely depends on it. The results of engineering technological development are seen everywhere: in household devices which are getting more advanced and in everyday safety of life Engineers are getting more demanding with the appearance of nanotechnologies. Modern enterprises are producing something very important which can help us to make new innovative discoveries in the nearest future. Following my poster motto, modern engineers can solve more and more important problems making our life easier and more comfortable. Engineers, our future is in your hands!Charlotte Marliani met George Sand in 1836 and quickly became the writer’s confidante. In 1838, she was dedicated to George Sand’s last novel, La Dernière Aldini.
Delacroix met Charlotte Marliani at the earliest in 1838 through George Sand. The proximity of the two women is reflected in the painter’s correspondence. He appreciated the writer’s friend: “make a thousand friendships to Mrs. Marliani” [letter of April 10, 1842].
