Default Re: OT: Off shore call center workers mad at Amer

Scouting has badges for people who pass a translator test; no specific language list is on the requirements, just that the translator be able to do the test in the appropriet language and have a scorer that is considered fluet (basically, amounts to translating a particular length of text or carrying on a meaningful conversation for a particular length of time).

I've met somone who prominently displayed a "Klingon" translator badge on his shirt.

Kinda scary, really....
