это на каком языке???

Форум "Вопросы перевода"? Даже не смешно.

AsIs, ну смотрите: Сочи, утренний кофе, фуршеты, "просмотр" (!) соревнований по фиг.катанию - разве не пафосно? И все бесплатно )
Вот единственное, кормить столицу будущей Олимпиады, оплачивая проживание (оно-то уж не даром) лично у меня желания нет никакого.

PS
они против капиталистического подхода к оплате, они за коммунистическое отношение к труду!

Практика использования на Играх волонтеров повсеместна и обязательна (по требованию МОК)

"Whether it’s for formal interpreting during official ceremonies, or just to say a few words of welcome to visitors as volunteer, languages are going to be crucial to the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

As thousands of overseas visitors - and the world’s media - descend upon London, languages will help with everything from giving directions to solving a medical crisis. Tourist attractions and businesses have been urged to brush up on their language skills so that they can provide a better customer service at a time when the global spotlight will be turned on the UK.

Quick facts and figures

An estimated 70,000 volunteers, including language experts are needed during the Games;
Languages are identified as one of the top 10 skills areas requiring volunteers;
People with language skills are needed in all Games roles not just interpreting and translating.

Where do languages fit in?

Professional linguists
Professional interpreters and translators are needed to ensure that the competition is staged efficiently, with respect for all the nations coming together. There is a need for multilingual signs, visitor information, public announcements, and interpretation facilities for teams, coaches, the media and the whole ‘Olympic family’, not only at the Olympics venues in London and elsewhere in the UK, but also around team training venues.

Other professionals
Many professionals working to support the Games will also need language skills, to overcome practical communication barriers they face in their day to day work. This will range from ticket sales to risk assessment, from caterers to lawyers. In London the police and security services, emergency and health services use languages skills already to help communication with the public."

"The London bid team’s decision
to include 30 young Londoners
speaking 28 first languages among the
delegation that travelled to Singapore
for the International Olympic Committee’s
host city election in July 2005
gave a strong message to the world
about how the U.K. will connect with
people across the globe through the
2012 Games. London 2012 Chair
Sebastian Coe said, “London is the
most cosmopolitan city in the world,
constantly renewing itself, and is now
home to 200 ethnic communities who
speak a total of 300 languages. We
want to involve all of these people and
communities in delivering our Games.”
