	Diplomatic Translation
		Diplomatic translators must have a vast wealth of knowledge and be very familiar with international affairs and in particular with the political, social and economic situation of their own countries.
		Apart from the diplomatic staff accredited to a diplomatic mission, there is also local staff, basically composed of nationals of the country in which the diplomatic mission or embassy is located.

	Communication: An Essential Aspect of Diplomacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Another factor, contributing to the ambiguity of diplomatic signals, is the prevalence of nonverbal messages and “body language” in communication between states.
		Diplomats, therefore, have to be content with saying both less and more than they mean: less, because their verbal and nonverbal signaling will never immediately convey their meaning; more, because their signaling will always convey messages and involve them in consequences other than those intended.
		Whereas diplomatic signaling has traditionally been addressed to exclusive and clearly delineated audiences, with a high degree of control and possibilities to vary the message according to audience, the advent of new media has made the differentiation among audiences more difficult.

	"Language" Defined & Explained
		On the subjugation of England by William the Conqueror, the French Norman language was substituted in all law proceedings for the ancient Saxon.
		In changing from one language to another, many words and technical expressions were retained in the new, which belonged to the more ancient language, and not seldom they partook of both; this, to the unlearned student, has given an air of confusion, and disfigured the language of the law.
		Prior to the accendency of English during the 20th century, the French language was the one commonly used among diplomats.

	The Pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian
		For most of Egyptian history the language written in actual hieroglyphics or in its cursive counterpart, hieratic, was the literary language initiated in the XII Dynasty (1991-1786) of the Middle Kingdom.
		Akkadian was the diplomatic language of the day, essentially the same language as its two daughter languages, Babylonian and Assyrian; and its system of writing, cuneiform, represented vowels.
		Although it ceased to be a spoken language by the 17th century, Coptic remains the liturgical language of the Coptic Church, to which 6% of Egyptians still belong, and thus is as well remembered and used in that context as Latin is in the Catholic Church or classical Arabic is in Islam.

		Serious thought have to be given to this aspect also by those who like to stick only to diplomatic language and behaviour.

		In contradistinction, the most responsible diplomatic language has come recently from the most hawkish of all hawks in the Bush Administration, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who without giving up the goal of disarming and regime change in Baghdad, opened the possibility of a solution other than war.
		Rumsfeld, thoughtfully and diplomatically, choosing each word carefully, said: “Well, I’m not in the Justice Department or in the White House and those are questions for them.
		I think the language of “axis of evil” and “shocked into impotence,” is counter productive in political and diplomatic parlance for the simple reason that it creates a rigid framework and leaves no room for flexibility, as can be seen in the case of the North Korean crisis.
