Tourism Translation Post Pandemic: How Has The Need For Translation Changed ?
The pandemic has had a profound effect on many of us for several reasons over the last year and a half. But with vaccines rolling out and tourism slowly beginning to get back on its feet, we are noticing the need for translation of documentation and interpretation of events increasing. But how has this demand for global translation services changed since the beginning of the pandemic 12 months ago?
The Pandemic On The Language Translation Services Industry
A year ago in March of 2020, the UK and many other parts of the world found themselves forced into some form of quarantine at the hands of the Coronavirus pandemic. This led to huge changes for many in their lives as nearly half of the UK workforce begun to work from home and many businesses closed their doors for the foreseeable future. Though this was difficult for many, there were some sectors such as language translation services that have seen these challenges and have been able to adapt to provide new forms of translation whilst working remotely and remaining Covid safe.
With material such as NHS documents and medical information needing to be translated, there is very little that has changed for translators. However, the effect that the pandemic has had on interpreters was significant due to the lack of conferences and events being held with the CSA survey data collected seeing as much as a 24% fall in income throughout 2020. As a result of this, the team at Talking Heads has been working hard to adapt providing telephone and video interpreting as well as conference call interpreters for any online events that you may have in addition to the existing face to face interpretation and global translation services.
The Reopening Of International Tourism
As the world slowly begins to open, we are excited about what the future of language translation services will be.
