The "China Language Service Development Report" (Blue Book of Language Services) reveals the latest data showing that in 2021, the market size of China's language service industry reached 38.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18%. The total number of various language service enterprises exceeded 10,000, making it one of the fastest-growing markets globally. Among them, the sub-sectors of translation services, localization services, and language technology all achieved significant growth, with year-on-year increases of 20%, 15%, and 25% respectively.

The scale of China's language service industry is approaching the 100 billion yuan mark. Professor Wang Lifei, the editor-in-chief of the Blue Book and the director of the International Language Service Research Institute at Beijing Language and Culture University, stated that in recent years, China has introduced a series of robust measures to stabilize foreign trade and investment, injecting strong momentum into the development of the language service industry. The scale of language services continues to expand, with service quality and efficiency continuously improving, and international competitiveness significantly enhanced, demonstrating enormous development potential.

Wang Lifei pointed out that over the past year, artificial intelligence translation technology has continuously broken through, with machine translation accuracy increasing to over %, becoming a significant engine for industry growth. Meanwhile, universities and training institutions have continuously optimized the curriculum of language service-related majors, supplying the industry with a large number of high-quality professionals, which has vigorously promoted the rapid development of the industry.

"The continuous development of China's language service industry has provided strong support for Chinese enterprises going global," said Wang Lifei. From the translation of business documents for multinational companies to simultaneous interpretation at international conferences, and the localization of cultural products, China's language service industry has played an irreplaceable role in various fields. The overseas distribution of Chinese film and television works saw a year-on-year increase of % last year, to which the high-quality support of language services contributed significantly.

Taking *Black Myth: Wukong* as an example, the game successfully captured the attention of overseas users through high-quality subtitle translations and dubbing services. The language service team not only accurately translated the Chinese content into multiple foreign languages such as English, French, and Korean but also made appropriate adjustments based on different cultural contexts. Similarly, the recent blockbuster animated film *Ne Zha* gained a massive fanbase in international markets, which was also made possible by professional language services, further promoting the spread of Chinese culture.

In the field of artificial intelligence, language services have also played a significant role. Large language models have gained widespread application in overseas markets. The language service team has provided translation and proofreading services for multilingual training data for these models, ensuring that the models can accurately understand and generate content in multiple languages. Supported by high-quality services in both Chinese and foreign languages, the technological products have not only achieved a leading position in the domestic market but have also earned a good reputation in the international market, further enhancing the international competitiveness of China's artificial intelligence industry.

In the past year, the Chinese language service industry has also achieved remarkable accomplishments in international cooperation. Several Chinese translation companies have provided software localization services for international technology firms, facilitating the better entry of foreign products into the Chinese market. Meanwhile, Chinese language service enterprises have actively participated in major international projects, such as those related to the "Belt and Road" initiative, offering translation and localization services for infrastructure construction and cultural exchange activities.

On the international stage, Chinese language service enterprises are also actively participating in the formulation of international standards, promoting the construction of international standards in the language service industry. Chinese experts have participated in the development of standards for translation services and localization services within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), enhancing China's voice in the establishment of international language service industry standards. In a certain year, Chinese language service enterprises won the "Best Innovation Award" for the first time at an international language service industry conference, marking that the Chinese language service industry has reached an internationally leading level in terms of technological and model innovation.

In [specific month and year], the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of Service Trade through High-Level Opening-Up," providing a solid policy foundation for the Chinese language service industry to reach a new level. So, under the requirements of high-quality development, how can the Chinese language service industry achieve greater breakthroughs?

Wang Lifei stated that to further develop language services, greater emphasis should be placed on technological innovation, talent cultivation, and international cooperation. In terms of technological innovation, the Chinese language service industry has made significant breakthroughs in the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, launching several language service technology products with independent intellectual property rights. The next step should be to continuously increase investment in technology research and development, promote the deep integration of language service technology with cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, and further enhance the intelligence level of language services.

In terms of talent development, Wang Lifei suggests that cooperation between universities and enterprises should be strengthened to establish an integrated talent development model that combines industry, academia, and research. It is recommended to support universities in offering professional courses related to language services to cultivate interdisciplinary talents who are proficient in both language and technology. Meanwhile, enterprises are encouraged to conduct internal training to enhance employees' professional skills and service levels.

In terms of international cooperation, Wang Lifei emphasized the need to further expand the channels for international cooperation in language services. Actively participate in service industry exhibitions and forums, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international peers, attract more internationally renowned language service companies to invest in China, and enhance the internationalization level of China's language service industry.

"The development prospects of China's language service industry are vast," said Wang Lifei with confidence. "Driven by policy support, technological innovation, and market demand, China's language service industry is expected to continue its rapid growth in the coming years. This will provide strong support for the high-quality development of China's economy and its globalization process, while also contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to the global development of language services."
