National Translation Mission
Technical and scientific knowledge is an important domain of the field of knowledge. Translation of these is an important aspect of the development of both the individual as well society. Uniformity should be there among the citizens in the usage of Indian language terminology. There is a lot of variation between different languages, such as languages like Bangla containing multiple sources of technical terminology. In contrast, some of the languages don’t have a definition or glossary to serve them. The idea behind the development of the National Translation Mission is to work toward the standardization of Technical Terminology in Indian languages. It works in collaboration with the Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT). Currently, NTM is working on translating all instructional resources for higher education into 22 Indian languages. By translating the higher education texts, which are primarily available in English, into Indian languages, NTM seeks to expand access to the immense corpus of knowledge. This approach is anticipated to eventually open the door for the creation of a diverse knowledge society.
