What is the Importance of Translation Services in the Education Sector?

In the education sector, it becomes difficult to connect to experts, mentors, and peers in the presence of language barriers. With the number of bilingual students on the rise, there is a growing demand for academic translation services.


Translation plays a crucial role in spreading ideas, knowledge, and information. These kinds of services are central to the empathetic and effective communication of concepts across different cultures.


In traditional education, translation is essential for a range of topics like - educational software and textbooks, as well as assessments. Educators and trainers also need handbooks, admissions papers, and transcripts to be translated. They might also need school records to be translated, especially if children are arriving from other countries. Translation is especially important when it comes to lessons in foreign languages, as good translation is crucial to the education of pupils.


Translation services contribute to the education industry in the following distinct 5 ways:

1. Significant Impact on Culture

Language plays an important role in any and every culture. Therefore, being able to effectively communicate in native and second languages does wonders in preserving the culture in question.


Linguistic and cultural identity through education is sought, preserved, and maintained with translation services. In a world that is arguably dominated by the English language, translation services help promote the importance and uniqueness of other languages to students across the world.


Also, the National Education Policy 2020 in India now emphasises education in one’s mother tongue. Therefore, there will be a growth in the translation needs for educational content - whether it is books, videos, audio, or interactive quizzes in Indian languages.

2. Translation of Study and Training Material

Contributions to the field of education continue to be made in a plethora of different languages used around the world. Therefore, to bring multilingual students up to speed, translation services play an important role in the conversion of study and training material used across different institutions.


The translation of these materials also significantly reduces overall education and training costs. Being able to understand the content in a native language is one of the best ways to assimilate information.

3. Contributions to Literature

Translation services work wonders in renewing the literary impact of a work. Classic authors such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky continue to be appreciated owing to the brilliant translation of their work.


Several translated literary pieces also play an important role in encouraging understanding of different cultures and communities.

4. E-Learning in Foreign Languages

In addition, e-learning programs created by industry experts can cater to many more training requirements, with a good translation. If material is provided with translations, for example, subtitles with the native language in multiple languages, the reach of E-Learning will rise. People from across the world will be able to understand concepts better and grasp ideas comfortably and quickly, as they are now aided with the comfort of reading it in their native languages as well.

5. Native-Language Emphasis by National Education Policy

Translation services are therefore employed to ensure that the gap between mentors and students from different backgrounds is bridged. The result is excellent connectivity between all parties involved in the education process and industry. According to the NEP 2020, "whenever possible, kids up to Class V should be taught in their native tongue/regional language/local language."


The concept is based on numerous studies demonstrating that young children learn best in their mother tongue or native language, with the caveat that teachers may employ the bilingual approach to teach subjects.


Translation services continue to grow in demand in the education sector for the several remarkable benefits they provide.
