This roundtable, organized by MIRCo within the framework of the R&D&I project EquiLing, during the Week of Languages, and in collaboration with the Institut Ramon Llull, addresses and analyzes the recent regulatory change in language policy at the Spanish Congress of Deputies, which now allows the use of all official languages in its daily activities. It also explores the implications of this change for the fields of translation and interpretation, following the establishment of a new Translation and Interpretation Service in Catalan, Basque, Galician, and Aranese.
