I think, in the end we are both talking about the same thing.

Oh, yes, I mean the job market. When I talk / think of multilinguality I
think at the same time about
the (culturally, linguistically, tecnologically) well educated people
needed . Spin-off enterprises, accor-
ding to me, are an interesting thing because they arise around universities
(i.e. are not just business
unrelated to some sort - I am very cautious - culture) and universities
which do translation studies
for example could offer some concrete perspective to their students. A bit
tentative, yet, I know.
