The language industry is the sector of activity dedicated to facilitating multilingual communication, both oral and written. According to the European Commission's Directorate-General of Translation, the language industry comprises the activities of translation, interpreting, subtitling and dubbing, software and website globalisation, language technology tools development, international conference organisation, language teaching and linguistic consultancy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/translation/programmes/languageindustry/platform/index_en.htm )〕 According to the Canadian Language Industry Association, this sector comprises translation (with interpreting, subtitling and localisation), language training and language technologies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ailia.ca/Our+Industry )〕 The European Language Industry Association limits the sector to translation, localisation, internationalisation and globalisation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.elia-association.org/index.php?id=101&no_cache=1 )〕 An older, perhaps outdated view confines the language industry to computerised language processing and places it within the information technology industry. An emerging view expands this sector to include editing for authors who write in a second language—especially English—for international communication. == Services == The scope of services in the industry includes: *Translation *Editing for authors: author editing *Editing for publishers, e.g. copy editing, proofreading (including CAR), developmental editing *Language interpretation *Language education *Computer-assisted translation tools development *Terminology extraction *Language localisation *Software localisation *Machine translation The persons who facilitate multilingual communication by offering individualized services—translation, interpreting, editing or language teaching—are called language professionals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Language industry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
