Developments that have propelled translation services in India

No industry can work in an ivory tower, no matter how glossy and radiant it may be. There is a huge scope of support, strength, and stability that has to come from areas and industries or even competitors that actually decide the long-term survival of any industry.

The maxim holds true for translation industry as well, more so for translation services in India as they are at a unique bridge of growth and challenges. These services stand staring at a massive opportunity and market fueled by globalization, market expansion, and regulatory changes. Yet, the industry cannot just march forward without being adequately equipped to serve this fast-growing market.

Skills constitute the basic anchor of any industry. But for multilingual translation services, they almost become a clincher of sorts. Their role and value component in this industry does not need to be spelled out. They constitute the basic reason for which any brand or marketer would come forth for translation needs. If they are not properly honed, organized and available; then no matter how well-perched the firm is, the business is going to suffer a setback sooner or later.

India, as a vast consumer market, has always provided the much-needed base for translation services to grow. The multilingual nature of India provided a natural booster to grow the service. Multilingual translation services have since then grown to a phenomenal extent owing to the growth of consumerism, opening up of the economy and the rise of the middle class.

Fortunately, for India, the academic and education side of the puzzle has started being sorted out quite aggressively in recent years. New courses are coming in and new opportunities are attracting a young and sharp talent force to these new careers. Resources are being groomed and the industry is investing time, energy, rewards and efforts in making a good pool of translators ready for the wide and teeming market.

At the same time, partnerships are being forged to up the technology ante in this space. Translation service providers are striking new collaborations and exploring fresh associations to ensure that they embed technology in the right way and do not get left behind.

In fact, it’s a two-way intervention in many cases where engineering students are being instilled with communication edge and vice versa, to indicate the rising realization, that for this industry, both the language strength and technology edge go hand in hand.

Standards like DIN 2345, the ASTM Standard, the EN 15038 Standard and others have been also addressed from time to time to ensure quality and integrity in this industry. The country is also progressing quite impressively on automation, machine translation and software translation to cater to a new segment of the market with poise and confidence.

The industry is, alongside, showing good signs of maturity and consolidation to reaffirm that the firms need to take a new look at the scale, strategy, professional flavor and an international level in order to keep pushing the Indian multilingual translation services market at par with other global players. This involves both qualitative and quantitative efforts and it is thankfully visible that experts and top-notch translation service providers are leaving no stone unturned to bring up different variables of the industry to a new height and scale.
