Demand for translators rises in Karnataka amid linguistic diversity and digital growth

The demand for skilled translators is on the rise in India, driven by the country's rich linguistic diversity and the rapid growth of the digital economy. As businesses increasingly recognise the importance of regional languages in reaching local markets, the need for professional language experts has become critical. This surge is further fuelled by the growing number of non-English-speaking internet users, compelling industries to prioritise content creation and communication in regional dialects.

The global translation services market is expected to grow steadily, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 2.07% by 2028. In India, this growth is even more pronounced, as businesses seek skilled translators for tasks ranging from business communication and documentation to live events and conference interpretation according to research from Market Research Future (MRFR).
