The Global Translation Industry: Trends and Insights

Across the globe, cities like New York, London, Berlin, Toronto, Tokyo and Dubai have each developed to be localized centers of translation services. Each of these cities is also home to multinational companies, diplomatic missions and organizations, and international as well as multi-national trade organizations who all require communication in multiple languages.

Some of the top global trends from the translation industry include:

• Specialty Translators: There are specialized linguistic efforts in fields like healthcare, law, and finance commensurate to their own domain of linguistic-specific specialization.
• Remote Working and Freelancing: Remote work has created global talent pools with traditionally harder to obtain high-quality translators now available on demand.
• Video + Multimedia Translation: The massive surge in video content has created demand for, and services like, subtitle translation, dubbing, and voice-over.

Despite these developments humans will still remain essential. Machines can’t replicate human capital creativity; i.e., how to express cultural nuance, or localize humor, idioms, or context specific language – especially in sensitive fields and high-stakes professions like law, medicine, or diplomacy.
