Signing Valentine's day

Funny Translation

Le "Calendrier d'arrivée"...

A declaration of love through an interpreter

What a great interpreting job:
- Convey the message from one language to another, without adding, omitting or polishing.
- Remain impartial, objective and detached.

I find it interesting that the interpreter in this case is the voice of a woman, and not a man.... Subtle way not shadow the President... Or maybe it is indeed pure coincidence?
