the two proposals are:
-A east international language (NewYorkState's, mine)
-Eliminate language barriers
I strongly believe that the great regional delegates of the World Assembly should approve "a east international language" over the other option for many reasons. For example, "Eliminate language barriers" is badly structured. In the first proposal, I asked for the international language of esperanto to be adopted into the schooling system of all members of the world assembly. in the second proposal, the creator did not state a specific language to be adopted, I believe that this would end disastrously should it be passed in a vote, for without a a suggested language the member nations would not be able to pick a new created language to adopt.
What do you all think?

I would argue that having an international language would not affect the amount of translators that are needed. with the adoption of, let's say esperanto, we may not need translators for the purpose of person to person translation, but we will most certainly need translators to translate written or historical documents such as books. Furthermore, esperanto would just be a second language, education and day to day conversing would be done in the first language of people involved. Let's say, as an example, that a book just came out in England, in english, and became a best seller. now we would need translators to translate that book into many of the other languages of the world. Remember that esperanto would be just a common second language of humanity that would help people when traveling or for international diplomats.

"Which would require retraining current translators, a huge expense. No, thank you, ambassador. There is nothing wrong with our current system."

Actually, any retraining would take like a month to complete as esperanto is literally the easiest language in the world. And furthermore, as I said before, a translator might not even need to know esperanto. like in a situation where they are translating a book produced in japan, for example, into english so that people in america would be able to read it in their first language.
I strongly believe that the teaching of esperanto as a second language in all the schools of the world assembly would have either a minimal or no effect at all on the translator market.

Parsons: Is it not 'linguam mortuam'? If the language is the subject of the sentence, it should be in the accusative form.

Fairburn: I do believe that you're right for the wrong reasons, Lord Colonel His Grace Cyril Parsons, 1st Duke of Geneva, 1st Earl Parsons of Eastminster, 8th Viscount Parsons of Eastminster, 1st Baron Markenshire of Concilium, Knight of the Garter, Grand Cross of St Michael and St George, Privy Councillor, Member of Parliament for Those-Across-the-Seas; Proconsul Decimus; Permanent Representative to the World Assembly. It should be in the accusative form, but on the basis that it is the object of the sentence, not that it is the subject.
