Doing Business in India – Translation and Localisation

According to various on-line sources, the Indian economy is the eleventh largest in the world and the fourth biggest by purchasing power parity. It’s an economy that, fuelled by the growing consumer demands of a 1.2 billion-strong population, is one of the so-called BRIC economies. If the economists are to be believed, in India, economic growth looks set to continue unabated. With its long associations with Britain and the English language, India is already proving to be a tempting, and potentially rewarding, destination for UK businesses.

It takes more than English or Hindi when doing business in India

Think about the India economy and translation and two languages probably come to mind. But although English sits with Hindi as one of the two official languages of India, anyone addressing the sub-continent’s markets is well advised to plan their translation and localisation very carefully.

With no less than 26 other Indian languages (not including local Indian dialects) complementing the official tongues, translation and localisation for India promises a huge challenge. While the potential rewards are high, the pitfalls are equally spectacular…
