Chapter 15. From craft to industry 315But that was still too expensive and left no ‘margin’, the merchant soon said.So, he decided she would just ‘finish’ semi-finished laces that someone using anew-fangled mechanical device would churn out by the dozen. She didn’t likethat, but she had to make a living, hadn’t she? And leave the creativeness to others.Then, there was talk of mechanisation, rationalisation, organisation, automation,standardisation, productivity: ROI and customer satisfaction all said. And,soon, there was no more lace making for her anyway: the merchant had set-up alace-making workshop with ever so clever workflow management.With a heavy heart, she went up to the workshop at the ‘lace factory’ whereshe worked 10 hours a day under the beady eye of the supervisor at the footof machines that relentlessly reproduced those designs ‘created’ and ‘improved’(streamlined,shethoughtsheheardsomeonesay;butthatmighthavebeenaboutsomething else) by a young woman who had once been her apprentice and nowhad a degree (an engineering degree, of course) and knew all about standardsand procedures and QA and QC. It was even rumoured that she had invented adevice that would do away with factory operatives altogether. Oh! And she hadbeen a consultant, she had told them, in some far away country, where there werethousands of women with astonishing lace making skills, and willing to work forfar less than anyone here would want to be paid.Butthatmeantnothingtothelacemaker.Until, one morning, the machines were gone...3. Industrialisation as a policy objectivePolicy-makers are no doubt quite happy to see translation moving towardsindustrial-type procedures and structures. Many see the rise of a full-blown translationindustry(orlanguageindustryastheysayinCanada,ormultilingualcommunicationindustry) as a central objective, which will help to protect and increasemarket share for their own national translators in a given politically or economicallyimportant arena – generally the whole world if the language combinationsinvolved include the most commonly used international languages. But a trulynational translation industry, capable of winning market shares, requires:– business concentration (via companies with a solid financial and organisationalbase), and the disappearance of the weakest and most isolated operators,– the reinforcement of the strongest operators’ potential,– more language combinations (especially in officially bilingual or multilingualcountries),– support to help win new markets abroad (especially when the price differentialis unfavourable),
316 Translation as a Profession– the development of language resources for the translation companies concerned,– the development of language engineering projects designed for the translationindustry,– incentives towards greater rationalisation, combining quality and productivitygains,– increased professional specialisation, both in translator training courses andfor practising translators, in order to stay ahead in the race for the mostlucrative markets.The overall objective is both to meet domestic translation needs and to givedomestic translation industry operators the support they need to face up tointernational competition. With this support, not only will all the sectors that needtranslation (the social services, the legal system, the health services, businesses,government, the entertainment industry, etc.) find the quality they should beentitled to, but the national translation industry as a whole will be able to save jobsand develop employment in a rapidly changing global context, thus cushioningsome of the effects of globalisation.
