The team of LINGVOBALT translation company feels proud to have contributed to the creation and conduct of the European Language Industry Survey (ELIS) 2024. LINGVOBALT linguists post-edited the machine translated content from English into Lithuanian and later harmonized it with previous translations. The link to the survey can be found here: https://elis-survey.org/
ELIS focuses on the language industry trends, expectations and concerns of a wide range of language industry stakeholders, including translation companies, independent language professionals, training institutes with translation and interpreting related training programmes, language departments in private companies, public administrations, and language service buyers.
ELIS was originally initiated by European Union of Associations of Translation Companies (EUATC) a decade ago and is now a joint initiative by international language industry associations and organizations. Apart from the EUATC, those participating are the European Language Industry Association (Elia), the European Master’s in Translation (EMT), the European Regional Centre of the International Federation of Translators (FIT Europe), the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), the European Commission’s Language Industry Platform (LIND) and Women in Localization (WiL).
The main change in ELIS 2024 is the creation of a separate questionnaire for students of translation-related training programmes, which should provide better insights in their expectations and concerns. This year’s edition continues the successful approach to complement the traditional ELIS core areas with optional questions that drill down into specific operational topics such as human resources, finance or technology.
The ELIS campaign will close at midnight CET on January 31. The findings of the ELIS 2024 survey will be presented at a free online Translating Europe Workshop on 19th March 2024, and participants, who have completed the survey, are able to pre-register for the event free of charge.
We look forward to getting the newest information of the language industry trends and invite everyone to express their opinion and stay updated with the latest news.
