Companies scouting for Japanese & German translators

PUNE: Koennen Sie Deutsch? (do you know German). Nihongoga Dekimasuka? (do you know Japanese). Because, if you do, agencies involved in translation work are scouting for talent. The languages business is the next outsourcing business, driven by two separate trends. First, national governments are keen to promote the teaching of their languages in other countries, notably the Japanese.
The other trend is driven by legislation, where in countries such as the UK, it is mandatory to issue public awareness documents in specified languages. These include five Indian languages — Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi. And this has to be done by ‘in country native speaker’ of the language. So, it has to come to India.
