A research conducted by the market research firm Common Sense Advisory investigating European countries that offered the biggest opportunities for multilingual services came to the conclusion that United Kingdom, Germany and France were among the top players in the area.
According to Common Sense Advisory’s CEO Tahar Bouhafs, business organizations in Europe were increasingly relying upon language translation services to ensure the success of their services and products across the world. He added that expanding into new markets was vital for the growth of any business, and services like language translation, localization and interpretation made such expansion possible.
According to Nataly Kelly the lead researcher of the aforementioned report, Europe was characterized by a commendably progressive attitude as far as multilingualism was concerned. The European Union has been at the forefront encouraging the development of technologies used for machine translation and translation memory. It is now standing at the brink of the next phase of this development which would involve community-based translation and the production of language translations in a variety of output formats all of which would be playing important roles in a Web 3.0 world.
