There are several things that have encouraged growth of the translation sector over the past few centuries, most notably, the Industrial Revolution. The creation of the above info-graphic serves to show how history has influenced this expansion and also to demonstrate the financial estimations for the future. The translation and interpreting industry is one that is predicted to grow, regardless of a flailing economy. It is a sector that is constantly relied upon by practically every other sector which is a fact which this info-graphic explains.

1. 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
1940’s 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.
