On November 9th, 2024, the International (Xiamen) Forum on Innovative Development of Language Services and the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Translation Service Committee of the China Translation Association opened in Xiamen. Su Yang, General Manager of TalkingChina, presided over the summit forum titled "Future Language Services", and Kelly Qi, Key Account Manager of TalkingChina, spoke as a guest speaker at the conference. On November 7th, the fourth director meeting of the fifth session of the Translation Association Service Committee was also held, and TalkingChina, as the deputy director unit, attended. On the 8th, the third plenary session of the fifth session of the Translation Association Service Committee was also held as scheduled, and the attending guests provided suggestions and recommendations for the development of the industry.
The theme of this committee's annual meeting is "New Models and Business Forms". More than 200 experts, scholars, and business representatives from the language service industry at home and abroad participated to explore effective practices for empowering the translation industry with new technologies and injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the industry.
In the roundtable dialogue session, four guests (Wei Zebin from Chuangsi Lixin, Wu Haiyan from Centifical, Liu Haiming from Xinyu Wisdom, and Professor Wang Huashu from Peking University High School of Translation), chaired by General Manager Su Yang, shared their observations and insights in their respective fields and positions, as well as their visions and explorations of future language service development trends with the main audience of domestic and foreign translation and localization companies and translation technology providers attending the conference. The discussion includes predictions of industry changes in the next 3-5 years, external environmental impacts, and response strategies, as well as aspects such as service model innovation, internationalization, technological change, sales and marketing strategies, and talent development.
TalkingChina's account manager Kelly Qi's speech was titled "Practice of Subtitle Translation Services for Film and Television Exports", covering market analysis of translation services, overview of subtitle translation services, sharing of practical cases, summary of project experience, and future prospects. In the case sharing, she demonstrated how to overcome challenges such as cultural differences, technical requirements, language barriers, and time pressure, and successfully completed a subtitle translation project from Chinese to European Spanish through a dedicated team, professional processes, and attentive services.
With the successful conclusion of this conference, TalkingChina will draw on the fruitful exchange results of this event, rely on the company's professional advantages, and continue to contribute to the innovation and development of the language service industry, helping the industry move towards a more brilliant future. I am also very grateful to the organizer Xiamen Jingyida Translation Company for the perfect conference organization, which explained in all the details what "good service" is. I believe this is also the original intention and advantage that language service providers or content service providers should always maintain in the post localization era where AI is more involved in the translation process.
