- Welche Rolle spielt Übersetzung dabei, die Erkenntnisse der OECD über Länder- und Kulturgrenzen hinweg zugänglich zu machen? Wie verändert künstliche Intelligenz die Arbeit von Sprachexpert*innen?
In dieser Folge von Why Languages Matter at the OECD spricht Daniela Herzog-Hébert, Leiterin des Deutschen Übersetzungsdiensts der OECD, mit Silvia Rathnau-Prenzel, Leiterin der OECD Translation Division, darüber, warum mehrsprachige Kommunikation entscheidend dazu beiträgt, Wissen in die Praxis umzusetzen.
Gemeinsam beleuchten sie, wie Übersetzungen politischen Entscheidungsträger*innen, Forschenden und der breiten Öffentlichkeit helfen, komplexe Themen in ihrer eigenen Sprache besser zu verstehen. Am Beispiel der OECD-Arbeit zu BEPS, den internationalen Maßnahmen gegen Gewinnverkürzung und Gewinnverlagerung multinationaler Unternehmen, zeigt Silvia, welchen Unterschied es gemacht hat, dass wichtige Fachdokumente auch auf Deutsch verfügbar waren.
Außerdem geht es um die wachsende Bedeutung künstlicher Intelligenz beim Übersetzen, die unverzichtbare Rolle menschlicher Expertise beim Erfassen des Kontexts und bei der Wiedergabe von Tonalität und feinen Bedeutungsnuancen sowie die Frage, wie neue Technologien die Reichweite der OECD-Arbeit vergrößern können.
Mit Blick auf die Zukunft erläutert Silvia ihre Vision einer zunehmend mehrsprachig ausgerichteten OECD, in der sprachliche Expertise und innovative Technologien Hand in Hand gehen, um die Erkenntnisse der OECD noch mehr Menschen weltweit zugänglich zu machen.

Perché il multilinguismo è fondamentale per avvicinare le Organizzazioni Internazionali ai cittadini? E quale ruolo svolge la lingua italiana nel favorire il dialogo e la cooperazione internazionale?
In questo episodio di Perché le lingue contano all'OCSE, Giancarlo Ruggiero, responsabile della Sezione linguistica italiana dell'OCSE, incontra Antonio Petrarulo, Consigliere presso la Rappresentanza Permanente d'Italia presso le Organizzazioni Internazionali a Parigi, per parlare del valore del multilinguismo nella diplomazia e nella diffusione della conoscenza.
Insieme esplorano come la comunicazione multilingue possa rendere le analisi e le raccomandazioni dell'OCSE più accessibili, aiutando i cittadini a comprendere le questioni politiche e a partecipare al dibattito pubblico. Antonio sottolinea l'importanza di potersi esprimere nella propria lingua nei forum internazionali e il ruolo della Sezione linguistica italiana dell'OCSE, istituita nel 1961, nel garantire servizi linguistici di elevata qualità.
La conversazione affronta inoltre le iniziative realizzate dall’Italia per promuovere la lingua e la cultura italiane nel mondo, dalla Settimana della lingua italiana alla Comunità dell'Italofonia. Guardando al futuro, il multilinguismo emerge come elemento in grado di contribuire a rafforzare la comprensione reciproca, il dialogo tra Paesi e l'accessibilità del lavoro svolto dalle Organizzazioni Internazionali.

Dans cet épisode de Why Languages Matter at the OECD, Caterina Cherubini, responsable des flux de traduction et de la gestion de la qualité à l’OCDE, échange avec Olivier Péan, Chef interprète de l’OCDE, sur le rôle de l’interprétation dans la communication multilingue et la coopération internationale.
Ensemble, ils explorent comment l’interprétation favorise la participation des délégations, préserve la diversité linguistique et culturelle et permet à chacun de s’exprimer dans une langue qu’il maîtrise. Olivier explique pourquoi cette possibilité contribue à des échanges plus inclusifs et à une meilleure compréhension mutuelle.
La conversation aborde également l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur le métier d’interprète, les nouvelles possibilités qu’elle offre pour préparer les conférences et les raisons pour lesquelles l’expertise humaine reste indispensable pour transmettre le sens et les nuances d’un discours.
Enfin, Olivier rappelle que l’interprétation ne consiste pas seulement à traduire des mots, mais à faire passer du sens et à créer les conditions d’un dialogue fondé sur la confiance, la précision et le respect des différences culturelles.
Découvrez le rôle des compétences linguistiques, de la traduction et de l’interprétation dans les sociétés riches en information, ainsi que les enjeux liés à la traduction automatique et à l’intelligence artificielle.

And how is artificial intelligence transforming the work of language professionals?
In this episode of Why Languages Matter at the OECD, Daniela Herzog-Hébert, Head of the German Linguistic Section, and Silvia Rathnau-Prenzel, Head of the OECD Translation Division, look at why multilingual communication is essential for turning knowledge into action.
Together, they examine how translation helps policymakers, researchers and citizens engage with sensitive issues in their own languages. Silvia shares a concrete example from the OECD's work on international taxation, where translating technical documents into German helped experts better understand and apply complex concepts.
They also discuss the growing role of artificial intelligence in translation, why human expertise remains essential for accuracy and cultural nuance, and how new technologies can help the OECD reach wider audiences.
Looking ahead, Silvia shares her vision for a more multilingual OECD, where language expertise and innovative technologies work together to make knowledge accessible to more people around the world.

Host: Daniela Herzog-Hébert, Head of the German Linguistic Section at the OECD.
Guest: Silvia Rathnau-Prenzel, Head of the OECD Translation Division - The need for budget reform is growing, but securing public support for reform is becoming harder. How can governments get the public onboard for difficult budget choices? In this episode, OECD hosts Ricardo and Scherie discuss the findings of the OECD report The People and the Budget: Empowering Public Understanding of Public Finances. They explore why technical debates about public finances often fail to connect with citizens, and how clearer communication, stronger engagement and more effective fiscal institutions can help build support for long term reforms and sustainable public finances.
Hosts: Scherie Nicol, Senior Policy Analyst, Public Management and Budgeting, and Ricardo Silva Pereira, Communications and Publications, Public Management and Budgeting.
