What is the Size of the Translation Industry?

How big is the translation services market? Which are the most demanded languages? What trends can we identify in the translation industry? We will address these and other questions in our "Knowledge" section about the translation industry. The good news for translators who worry about the technology may one day replace human translations is that only parts of the translation job can be automated by now. Despite huge advancement in technology, machine translation is an enabler to do translation faster or used for gisting, but not for final professional publishing.

As UNESCO's goal of education for all by 2015 looms ever closer, presenting an immediate and escalating requirement for content in a host of new languages, publishers and translators must find solutions that offer consistently high quality and high-volume scalability.
