LANGUAGE expert Jonathan Downie is celebrating a world first in his career.

Or as he might say: “Ah’ve lifted a bran’ new joab – an’ it’s a brammer, by the way.” *

And yesterday Jonathan, 26, started doing some field work after being unveiled as the world’s first interpreter in Glaswegian.

Jonathan, who has an MSc in translation and conference interpreting, was among 500 applicants when a London company advertised the post.
