Failing to distinguish the language preferences of India’s 637 million Internet users would mean missing the opportunity to offer a tailored experience, KPMG report says.
The apex court is said to be using “translation software” to translate judgments into six Indian languages — a first in India, where the language of the law is still largely English.
Increasing adoption of over-the-top content is driving strong demand for subtitling and dubbing services in India, the world’s second most populous country.
