Abstract
The Flemish government aims to ensure the full participation of all ethnic and cultural minorities in society and its institutions. This policy requires a number of well-organized professional interpeting and translation service providers, who offer a wide range of high quality services. An extensive analysis of these services and their users, as well as a comparative study of the systems used in two neighboring countries, allows a number of recommendations to be formulated with respect to their structure, development, service provision, quality control, and funding.
