Translation Services Procurement Intelligence

The translation services category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% from 2023 to 2030. The two main sub-divisions include human-assisted translations and machine translations. Neural machine technology (NMT), which is still in the developing phase, is one of the major technologies in machine translation. The advent of neural machine translations has allowed companies to see the potential value this technology can offer-such as a better understanding of the nuances of languages, idiomatic expressions, and cultural references. NMT-based translation can reduce enterprise translation costs by more than 75%. Technology giants such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Salesforce have started the implementation of NMT in their platforms.

Multimodal and augmented reality translation is another upcoming technology trend. An example of how augmented reality (AR) technology can be used while traveling is to view translated information about landmarks and menus, and even have real-time conversations with locals through AR glasses or smartphone applications. AR translation is anticipated to revolutionize how consumers explore foreign places and interact with foreign cultures.

The supplier landscape can be divided into local, regional, and global. Regional translation markets mostly operate out of translation agencies. Typical clients of these services include medium-sized organizations that seek to enhance their governance power and require a more robust and streamlined process that provides them with greater control over their operations.Asian, African, and Latin American economies are developing at a rapid pace, which has increased demand for languages like Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and Portuguese. Localization, medical and law translation (specialized), transcreation, and remote interpreting are a few examples of emerging areas in translation. For instance, English is one of the top 10 languages considered for website localization followed by Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic. This, in turn, reflects a move toward international digital communication.
