Living in America, it's easy to forget that most of the world does not speak English; and that much of the world's literature is not written in English. In order for us to read the best of what the rest of the world writes — and in order for the rest of the world to experience our best literature — skilled writers must work in the art of translation.

The Welsh language, which dates back to the 6th century, got a major boost Thursday when the European Union formally recognized it as a minority tongue.

According to the American Translators Association, in the past 10 years, the $11 billion translating and interpreting industry has experienced tremendous growth, increasing at a rate of 10 percent to 15 percent annually.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts this growth will continue. Translation and interpretation is expected to increase at a rate of 24 percent over the period of 2006 to 2016, a rate of growth significantly higher than the average for other occupations.

When companies brief us, we always ask how business is going. These days, the table is turned, and companies are increasingly asking us, “How’s business in general for the industry?” In some recent conversations with LSPs, we have probed for feedback about the unrelenting flow of bad economic news and how — or if — it is affecting their businesses. Thus far, most of the news coming from the language services industry seems to be positive.
