The number may actually be closer to 10,000 in that many small companies, which are registered as consultant agencies, actually conduct translation businesses. <br> <br>To survive in this competitive environment, translators will need to look to technology to improve efficiency and quality. <br> <br>China's translation industry currently accounts for some 11 billion yuan (1.33 US dollars) annually, and that number is expected to grow to 21 billion yuan (2.53 dollars) by 2005, and could be twice that in the not-too-distant future. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://irdc.ia.ac.cn/cistc/english/info/ShowInfo.asp?id=34407" target="blank">irdc.ia.ac.cn/cistc/english/info/ShowInfo.asp?id=34407</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
