Mr. Sunil Kulkarni, Founder and CEO, FidelTech says, “India has more than 450 million internet users. It holds the second largest online market after China. While India’s population constitutes around 125 million English-speaking population, more than 80% of Indians are not fluent in English. Due to this demographic usage of local languages has outpaced English. However even with such statistics, essential services like e-commerce transactions, digital payments, online banking, online job search, online education, online healthcare etc. are not available in local languages. This proves that online localization needs to be the need of the hour.”
He adds, “With the proliferation of mobile, low data pack costs and growing aspirations, consumers expect same services, online shopping experience and product delivery across urban and rural areas. Therefore, for any online business or service’s success, it is essential to have a clear and concise content in local language to reach the desired target audience. SMEs and other businesses need to effectively and efficiently translate the entire website into other languages. But the translation process can be an immense task that could take anywhere between 6 months to a year coordinating with multiple vendors involving internal resources for project management. This is where The Website Translator can help to go into newer markets in just 6-8 weeks.”
India alongside China is one of the top emerging language services market. Due to this, interest was boosted in the region owing to Government initiatives making it compulsory for Indian phone manufacturers to support numerous official languages in India. According to a KPMG report, India has a 125-million-strong English-speaking population along with 521 million Hindi speakers and over 500 million other Indian language speakers. The country has around 1,599 languages and local dialects, with 122 main languages out of which 22 are official. English is the most widely used language on digital platforms in the country. However, with the increasing growth of Indian language users, particularly in tier-II and tier-III cities along with rural areas combined with the rising use of smartphones and internet, it has become imperative for organizations to focus on creating an end-to-end digital ecosystem that is both applicable and valuable to Indian language speakers.
