Tõlketurg 10 aasta pärast - prognoos

Analüütikud on ühel meelel selles, et järgmise kümne aasta jooksul suureneb tõlgitavate dokumentide arv, kuid suurenemise mahu osas lähevad arvamused siiski lahku. ELi laienemisega tekkinud keeleline mitmekesisus ei suurenda tõlkemahtu mitte ainult Euroopa institutsioonides (näiteks koosolekuprotokollide ja seaduseelnõude näol), vaid suurendab ka ettevõtete tõlkevajadust, sest EL nõuab kogu tehnilise dokumentatsiooni tõlkimist riigikeeltesse (79/112/EMÜ).

Üleilmastumine ja sellega seotud kasv annavad GILT (Globalization, Internationalization, Localization and Translation ehk globaliseerimine, internatsionaliseerimine, lokaliseerimine ja tõlkimine) sektoritele olulise kasvu. Euroopa Tõlkebüroode Liitude Liit (EUTAC) prognoosib tõlketuru aastaseks kasvuks järgmistel aastatel 5%. Vaatamata inglise keele lingua franca seisusele on ilmnenud ka teine areng – kultuuride ja keelte kaitsmine. Tõlketurule mõjub see tendents kahtlemata positiivselt.

Peale selle suurendab nõudlust keeleteenuste järele aina mitmekeelsem rahvastik USAs ja mujal.

Lisaks neile arengutele nõuavad tehnoloogilised uuendused ja pidevalt suurenev tootevalik paremat tõlkekvaliteeti ning paindlikumaid tõlkijaid ja tõlkebüroosid.
