China had 9,652 language service firms as of the end of June, according to an industry report released Monday.

"The rapid development of China's language service industry, especially its translation business, comes together with the country's reform and opening-up," said the China Language Service Industry Development Report 2018.

The report was released at a forum held by the Translators Association of China in Beijing on innovation and development of the industry and also in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up.

A multilingual termbase was also launched at the forum, the first of its kind at national level, to support the translation of key Chinese political expressions into other languages.

There were nearly 7,400 companies specializing in language services by the end of 2015 in China, according to a 2016 report on the development of language service industry in the country.
