Translation helps EU citizens to enjoy their rights to the full. It also makes the EU more open, accountable and democratic, underpinning its legitimacy. This is all the more important for EU legislation, which must be available in all 24 official EU languages – so that it can be used, for example, in national courts of law and by national administrations, and so that EU citizens can understand what the EU does, regardless of the language they speak.
