Wednesday media review; Truce in Lebanon; end of translations

*Maciej Miłosz: Rzeczpospolita:“The war will save on translators”**
"Technical documentation concerning millions of aircraft will not should be translated into Polish. This will save money, time and improve security. The method documentation for F-35 aircraft has about 80,000 pages. Their translation is simply a large cost. The amendment is intended to reduce the request for all translation, mainly from English, of method documentation concerning military equipment - we read in the Impact Assessment, which was presented together with the amendment of the Polish language bill proposed by the Ministry of Defence. These changes will mainly concern aircraft, and their request has been discussed for years. Why is change so important? There are at least a fewer reasons. 1 of them, but not the most important, is savings - over 5 million PLN per year. This value is due to the fact that the method documentation for F-35 aircraft, for example, has about 80 1000 pages. This besides applies to another aircraft, but besides helicopters. Given that the sworn translation of 1 organization is about PLN 60, the translation into Polish of only 1 specified procedure costs the payer almost PLN 5 million. ‘In the context of the proposed amendment, it should be pointed out that, in peculiar for aviation equipment (military aircraft), supplied by contractors or subcontractors of public procurement, the basic and commonly utilized language for their method documentation is English, as an global language utilized in aviation. At the same time, it should be noted that e.g. the M-346 aircraft presently utilized in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, despite the existence of the Polish-language version, are operated by flying personnel and engineering-aircraft service primarily based on method documentation prepared in English. This practice is presently not only applied to M-346 aircraft, but besides to another air platforms utilized by SZ RP”, explained officials of the legal department of the Defence Ministry. This besides applies to F-16 aircraft, designed for VIP Gulfstream 550 and 737-800 Boeings or transport hercules C-130 or C-295M, sometimes called “Cuckets”
