5. Creation of Posts connected with translation work [Resolution No. I/20012/1/87-OL (A-1), dated 30.12.1989. Item
No. 2 (B) (9)]
The Committee of Parliament on Official Language has recommended that the policy for creation of posts connected
with translation work should be practical and liberal. Clear instructions should be issued to Ministries/Departments etc.
that whenever it is necessary and obligatory to work in both Hindi and English, translators should be appointed for this
purpose. There should be no restriction of any kind in this regard. In offices with a strength of less than 25 members of
ministerial staff also, proper arrangements for translation should be made.
To facilitate the creation of posts relating translation, the Department of Official Language revised the norms of
quantum of work to be done by translators vide O.M. No. 13017/1/81-OL(C) dated 13.4.1987. Thereafter, to implement the
Official Language Policy including translation work, the Department of Official Language revised the norms for creation of
minimum posts vide O.M. No. 13035/3/88-OL(C) dated 5.4.1989. To ensure that there is no restraint on creation of posts
relating to official language, the Ministry of Finance, vide their O.M. No. 10(4)-E-Coord-85 dated 8.6.88, issued directions
that such posts relating to official language which are based on norms fixed by the Department Official Language can be
created by the Secretary of the Ministry concerned in consultation with their Financial Adviser. So far as such Offices,
where the Ministerial staff is less than 25, are concerned, as mentioned above, arrangement for translation should be made
on honorarium basis vide Official Language's O.M. No. 13035/12/87-OL(C) dated 15.9.87.
All Ministries/Departments are requested to take proper steps to implement the recommendation of the Committee as
per the above instructions. They should also ensure that these are complied with in their attached and subordinate offices
and undertakings also.
6. To review the recruitment rules for translators and amend them as needed. [Resolution No. I/20012/1/87-OL (A-1),
dated 30.12.1988. Item No. 2 (B) (10)]
With a view to improving standards of translation of material on different subjects, the committee has recommended
that the recruitment rules for translators should have provision for the induction of candidates with experience and ability
commensurate with specific requirements of special types of offices/undertakings etc. Besides, recruitment rules should be
revised in a manner so that persons with qualifications in law, engineering, science, technology etc. and with a very high
proficiency in English and Hindi are attracted to the higher posts in the Official Language Services.
All posts relating to Hindi including those of translators are under Central Secretariat Official Language Service.
Recruitment Rules of Translators under the Central Secretariat Official Language Service have been reviewed. In these
Recruitment Rules notified in September, 1990, it has been provided that even a person who possesses a degree of M.A. in
any subject and has a working knowledge of Hindi and English can be appointed as Translator. Similarly, provision exists
in the Recruitment Rules for Translators in the Central Translation Bureau.
All Ministries/Departments are requested to review the Recruitment Rules of Translators of their Department and
their subordinate offices and undertakings which are not under the Central Secretariat Official Language Service and ensure
that action is taken according to the recommendations of the Committee.
