I would like to express my sincere thanks to the members of Indian TranslatorsAssociation as well as Linguaindia team for having devoted their precious time inpreparing this special report that covers the four days activities of internationalconference on Role of Translation in Nation Building, Nationalism and Supra-Nationalism” hosted by Instituto Cervantes, New Delhi (December 16-19, 2010).

I take this opportunity to emphasize that translators have always played a pivotal role insocial and cultural change in society and they continue to play a major role indissemination of the ever expanding knowledge and information.

Until the eighties, scholars and translators were more focused on the translation ofliterature and administrative texts which were mainly aimed at national and regionalconsumers. Ever since the communication explosion of the nineties, the demand fortranslation and language related services has increased exponentially. Translation is notonly needed for the creation of national identity but has also become an essential tool forkeeping pace with the globalization and localization processes.

In a rapidly changing world, the demands on the translator are also changing.Translators can no longer rest on their laurels but, like any other service provider, mustcontinuously upgrade themselves by coming to terms with an ever developingtechnology (including IT resources such as CAT tools) and adapting to increasinglystringent professional demands involving good commercial practice and theimplementation of quality standards.

During the conference, after extensive debate, deliberations and discussions thetranslators community, academicians, translation agencies as well as corporaterepresentatives reached at the consensus that there is an urgent need to regularizetranslation and provide professional status to translators and develop quality standardsto tap the immense opportunities that have been created on account of globalization.

Also, if India wants to retain and maintain leadership role as exporter of servicesinvolving IT, communication and Content, the government as well as private sector musttake measures to develop Machine Tools and alike technology to empower languageprofessionals in Indian as well as foreign languages that would further fuel growth in ITand Communication Industry of India.

Through this report I would like to make an appeal to the stake holders of the translationindustry to come forward and take steps to accord professional status to translators andformulate quality standards in translation so that this unorganized sector delivers thebest.

I sincerely hope that this special report would be useful for readers.

Prof. Ravi Kumar, Founder President of Indian TranslatorsAssociation and Convenor of the Conference extended warmwelcome to the gathering and explained how translatorshave always played a pivotal role in social and culturalchange in society and how they continue to play a major rolein dissemination of the ever expanding knowledge andinformation available today. He explained that during thisglobalized world the demand for translation and languagerelated services has increased many times and thattranslation is not only needed for the creation of nationalidentity but it has also become an essential tool for keepingpace with the processes of globalization and localization. Healso explained how most observers take for granted thetranslator's crucial role at the (intra) national level but areless aware of their equally pivotal place as mediators at theinternational level and, potentially, in the creation of theeven larger and comprehensive global supra nationalidentities which seem destined to follow in the future. In a rapidly changing world, the demands on the translator are alsochanging. Translators can no longer rest on their laurels but, like any other service provider, must continuously upgradethemselves by coming to terms with an ever developing technology (including IT resources such as CAT tools) and adaptingto increasingly stringent professional demands involving good commercial practice and the implementation of qualitystandards.
