The expansion of
The Translation Industry
Due to the demands for business documentation
consequent to the Industrial Revolution that
began in the mid-18th century, some translation
services have become formalised, with dedicated
schools and professional associations.
Because of the lengthy process of translation,
since the 1940s engineers have sought to
automate translation or to mechanically aid the
human translator.
The rise of the internet has fostered a
world-wide market for translation services and
has facilitated language localisation.
