Special Report: 2007 NPC & CPPCC |
Major documents for this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, including the government's work report, have been translated into several foreign languages. Li Na takes us to the Compilation and Translation Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, for a look at how experts there are working on this project.
Experts are making a final sprint to the finishing line.
Tong Xiaohua, translator of Compilation & Translation Bureau said "When the documents were finalized and sent to us, we finished translating them overnight."
But it was not an easy job, as new terminologies emerge each year.
Working alongside with Tong are a group of foreign copy-editors, who polish the already translated documents.
A German translator said "Our language is specialized and easy to make out."
