flags Globalization is on the rise, the dollar is weakening and the demand for translation is up.  The translation industry isn’t feeling the economic crunch like many other industries including manufacturing. 

The seven languages that are poised for substantial growth based on the Common Sense Advisory’s report from over 300 Language Service Providers (LSP) are:

1.  English – this may come as a surprise but there are many companies who need their documents translated into English from another language

2.  French

3.  Italian

4.  German

5.  Spanish

6.  Japanese

7.  Chinese – Mandarin in particular

I also see Eastern Europe/Russia and Portuguese from Brazil are on the rise.

Do any of these languages surprise you?

    Dear Beverly Cornell,

    There are a few other languages like Korean and Greek. Are you a translator or plan to be a translator in the future?
