Bloggers in India

We all know how huge blogs are today. There is pretty much a blog for everything and everyone. Let’s take India for example. Estimates show there are less than 300 Hindi bloggers. That’s low! Keep in mind there are over 400 million who speak Hindi in India. Another estimate shows that there are about 2,000 blogging in Tamil in all of India. Compare this to 40,000 English bloggers in India.

It’s been slow, but bloggers in India and elsewhere now have the ability to blog in other languages besides English. Translating services for these users were not available and the Internet was only available in English. Language translation options have been a technical ordeal in India, but finally they have access to Indic script. This allows Indian users to view the Internet in their own language.

Now there is Google Translate which opened up “Indic web” which gives users a translating service for converting site content into their own language such as Bengali, Gujarti, and Tamil- all languages that IU provides interpreting services and translating services.

Opening up the Internet to other languages has given female bloggers the ability to express their opinions, give advice, share knowledge, and empower other women. Having these online translating service tools has definitely helped society but cannot replace the charm and quality of working with an in-person language interpreter or language translator. Interpreting services is needed in all sectors of a society from academic to medical to corporate. If you need translation services or interpreting services, contact IU to learn more.
