Mindmatrix:
- general: article is new enough and long enough.
- policy: article is sourced and neutral. earwig shows nothing of concern.
- qpq: provided.
- hooks: hook is under 200 characters, interesting, accurate, cited, and neutral.
- points outside of the dyk criteria:
  - i think the hook would be more interesting if it stated that the bureau provided simultaneous translation services (or simultaneous interpretation services) for the languages mentioned, but the hook is fine as is.
  - there appear to be extraneous spaces before the final footnote markers in the first and last paragraphs.
