Modlingua is one of the finest platforms of interpretation, translation, and language placement services. It is termed as India’s best which itself speaks for its popularity and fame. It is a name in the language industry itself.

My introduction to this amazing platform happened when I filled the summer internship form 2021 there. At that point in time, I was completely oblivious of the knowledge that was going to come just by filling a form. To be honest, I never thought that my application would be accepted in the first place but to my amazement, it got accepted and a mail was forwarded to me by Modlingua’s official website. I was glad to see that email in the first place because this was going to be an important internship for me not because it was my second internship in life but because it was something related to my field of interest and studies. Yes! I’m a language student and I suppose this sentence itself suffice for why I was overwhelmed by seeing the acceptance mail. To all the language learners out there, this is an amazing platform to connect to likewise people and it’s an embodiment of knowledge. Knowledge can be theoretical but here we get a chance to meet people (of course virtually since it all happened during the pandemic period) who have practical knowledge and experience in the field of language and related areas.

I’ll start with the first session now which was an onboarding one. It held over zoom video call and at the same time, it was live at the Modlingua’s YouTube channel. The first onboarding session went quite well where we all were introduced to this platform by none other than our proficient and learned founder of this platform, Mr. Ravi Kumar. He is one of the most influential persons you will ever meet. He has the patience of a saint while explaining something. At the onboarding session itself, he explained everything with utmost determination and passion to all the summer interns. He briefed us on what this internship was all about and what it demanded from us. We were informed about all the minute details and that too with precision and live examples. The entire procedure of submitting an article online was explained diligently and in a manner that could be understood by anyone. We were given a live chat option to resolve our doubts and queries. This was something which I haven’t seen somewhere else. All the doubts were taken care of and it was like a one-on-one questioning session.

This onboarding session was really important because we were introduced to certain new and crucial terms which we need to hold on to for the future even. We came to know about essential tools used not only in the field of translation and interpretation but they are helpful almost everywhere. Mr. Ravi Kumar introduced us to Grammarly, an application that would be your best friend no matter from which field you hail. It is a one-stop application to resolve all your grammatical errors once you have something in the written format. Grammarly is a complete boon for every person. In a platform like Modlingua, it is highly necessary to produce quality content since it holds an international reputation. Our founder also introduced us to the Modlingua rubric which is by far, the most informative thing for interns like us. The first session itself was super knowledgeable hence, I was completely satisfied with my decision of doing this internship.

In the second session, more critical information was disseminated and essential doubts were resolved through live screen sharing. This went on for every session in the row. We came across several new terminologies such as meta description, keywords, etc. which I think most of us were unaware of. This is something which I felt was really important because we come across these basic things each day without even knowing their uses or the terms which are specified for them. There were a plethora of sessions throughout this summer internship. Each one was important altogether. When it comes to favorites, my personal favorite session was the one when there was a live session with Amity University Ranchi’s Vice-Chancellor who introduced us to pivotal AI tools and the importance of artificial intelligence in the language industry. For translation, interpretation, and other language field roles, one should be well acquainted with these tools since they turn the task easier in just one go. They help to bring quality to our work and improves it in an overall manner. This session was the inaugural one which surely pushed the language learners and practicians. This session motivated us all to learn more. Our honorable guest told us about the growing, new dimensions in the language career that have essentially added weightage to language learning. Some of these were research analysis, field analysis, army and intelligence, medicinal services, sports and recreation, language institutions set up under the new education policy, consultancy firms, psycholinguistics, and many others. All these have opened new gateways to language learners on an international basis. For me, this was an informative and helpful session.

After joining Modlingua, I came to know that it's not all about language and its applications. In the gatherings that we attended, we were given knowledge on all important subjects that were by all means, future-related. It was an overall growth and development of all the individuals who joined this summer internship because the topics that were covered and taken were wide and broad. They were not limited to just academics or any particular field. The topics were selected on different niches that we as freshers have no idea about. It was a complete grooming session in which we learned about the basics of the work environment, what all is needed and what are those things that you need to develop. Skills were given more emphasis rather than on being a bookworm. Modlingua’s virtual zoom meeting can teach you everything that isn’t given much importance in schools or colleges. Sessions like ANT theory: Importance of machines, customer management services, the growing importance of artificial intelligence, and others delivered abundant knowledge to us that I don’t think we could have gained going through the webpages on Google even.

After reading till here, one might think that this internship was all about sessions and zoom video calls. But there was more to it. We were assigned crucial assignments afterward that enabled us to write on our own and honestly, if those articles weren’t assigned to us, then I don’t think I could have ever known that I own this capability of writing articles. Earlier articles of 1000 words looked like a task to me but Modlingua made it easy for me. These assignments were a check on us, which I loved at times. Apart from this, we were assigned the work of making videos too to get rid of our fear of facing the crowd or a camera. These videos were given enough recognition by publishing them on Modlingua’s official YouTube channel which in turn inspired other individuals too. Apart from this, there was a storehouse of informative videos on the official YouTube channel too which anyone can access easily. These sessions were also made available online so that one doesn’t miss anything. This way we were able to gradually grow and prosper with knowledge. Next, Modlingua even provided us with the opportunity of being creative and designing virtual posters for the upcoming webinars which helped us to exploit our resources and brain cells a little more innovatively. But this is not the end! Modlingua is one of those platforms that focuses not only on the theoretical parts but allows you to showcase your skills and whatever you have learned throughout. We were provided with the golden opportunity to be the webinar presenters in front of prestigious guests like Dr. Amit Nagpal, President, Bloggers Alliance, and others. This gave us enough push to work better with each passing day. In live webinars, we were allowed to clear our doubts which for me, was a golden chance because that way you get authentic information from experienced people. You get clear on everything and you can plan your future goals accordingly.

This journey of a summer internship with Modlingua was definitely a super informative one which made me clear on a variety of aspects. It introduced me to innumerable new things which were completely different to me. It was like a necessary pre-dose of knowledge that you get before entering a new domain. I’m glad that I decided to join this internship because this changed my overall view on several subjects and gave me important insights into the working world. Modlingua pushed us on the social front too since it asked us to be active on platforms like LinkedIn and I’m grateful that I did that because this way I gathered new information about my field and even explored some new fields. I made few valuable connections and today I get updated on the new developments which is a boon for me. I would like to extend my gratitude to the whole team of Modlingua for providing me this wonderful opportunity.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP AT MODLINGUA AND ITS USESES IN CARRER:-

My name is Preeti Chaudhary and I am from Delhi I am presently a student of masters in arts from Delhi University. Also, I am pursuing a PGDT diploma from Kendriya Hindi Sansthan Delhi. Now I completed my Summer internship at MODLINGUA. A Summer internship program for a translate at Modlingua and initiative by our teacher and guide mister Ravi Kumar which is trained around lots of interns every year. This is an online program where the interns were at their own place can follow the training without any problem. There are various possible means to stay connected with our mentor as well as our team of interns through WhatsApp, YouTube, and Facebook respectively. The intern can interact share their ideas and kill clear their queries through an online meeting.

In this program the interns are given a chance to present themselves on the platform to boost their confidence at the last hour teacher is always there to help us there are ample amount of videos lectures on YouTube and the article on Modlingua for website related to translation also their lives Asian to guide us on various aspects of translation through MODLINGUA and also lectures by different aspects in the field of translation there were different assignments given at the particular interval or to test that we have learned and also to correct the mistakes. Dera guidelines to help us also every assignment there are YouTube lectures uploaded which guide us to complete the assignment easy. I remember that our first assignment was about the analysis of errors in the content namely first our profile photo our brief profile and the third one is carrier go to analyze these mistakes by comparing the contract we have sent to the contract that was published and write both the version of two different sections and thereafter we have to calculate the total time that was taken due to silly mistakes which would be corrected easily through the application such as Grammarly which was later explained by our mentor through Modlingua. Other than a continuation there were five questions given as an assignment on that we can choose one or more question but one question was compulsory while writing the answer we have to follow the Modlingua. while writing the answers we have to follow the Modlingua Rubric of error control, also it was mandatory to use Grammarly for any AI tools and to proofread the assignment. The following assignment was an extension of the first assignment where one was supposed to write an analytical report ( according to the choice of your questions) of about 1500-2000 words. This work enhances the content writing and reviewing skills. It also enabled a stone in calculating all the steps and tools learned throughout our session with Mr.Ravi Kumar, in our writing. The publication of the Modlingua rubric was of immense help when it comes to checking errors during content writing.

For a translator, it does not simply suffice to know one single domain. A translator must be well versed with lots of other skills as well, like transcription. Mr. Ravi Kumar's instructional videos provide to be a challenge for some as it involves creating foreign language subtitles for English/Hindi audio. This task gives us a brief introduction to the difficulties of the skill of transcription and subtitling. I speech rendered by the speaker is not always cohesive. Sometimes, there is incoherent Idea smart by incomplete sentences, Bata transcriber has no option other than transferring the speakers' words with minimal invention or any attempt to shadow in any manner.
The topic of social media marketing is wide and to be able to talk about it all in one go is impossible. Thus, our mentor Mr. Ravi Kumar tried to give as brief an introduction as possible, followed by a guest lecture who enlightened us further on this topic. With the rapid growth in globalization, one may want to work abroad or have foreign clients but this is impossible without creating a certain rapport. Our assignment that followed this lecture, was to write a report on various topics, which helped in better understanding topics such as the importance of Google search, online marketing, translation, content writing, localization, etc. This internship program has irradiated many new experiences, have learned a lot from our teachers, friends, and various experts in this field. We also have improved our qualities and capacities. We have come to know the basics of the field of translation and interpretation, also have learned a little about how to use it as an occupation and how to choose the correct client for whom we are going to work, the ethics and rules that should be followed so that our work remains quite interesting and does not become a burden. This program has also introduced us to various opportunities in the field of translation and interpretation.
Earlier we have hardly any knowledge about this field but this internship, not only improve our knowledge about this field but has also enhanced to use of this field professionally. It was an awesome experience that has resulted in boosting confidence. It is not only helpful in interpretation and translation but also useful in every professional field.
There were several challenges because I had just finished the post-graduation I had several competitive exams so with the preparation for those exams I also had to complete the various assignment on time. This internship was extremely beneficial to me. I came to know many new things which became more fun and easy for me with the help of our teacher Mr.Ravi Kumar. Also, it had helped me in the management of time. At times I faced some challenges due to some network issues, or some other work but the internship was so interesting so I tried completing the task as soon as possible by all means. We do not have to travel anywhere but sitting at home we could attend classes and complete our work. There was no time condition, we could ask the queries on the social networking sites and then many of our friends were ready to answer the queries. Also, we can refer to Youtube lectures at any given point in time. This internship was amazing and I was less attentive to the program as I was busy with various other exams because there are many blogs on the Modlingua website which I could have read. But this was one of the best internship programs, also because I learned a lot from it sitting in one place and through the use of technology.
Various online applications and social networking sites were used in this internship program. Instructions and messages were conveyed through WhatsApp through broadcast, a Facebook group was created to interact with each other to become a part of the translation and interpretation group. The meetings were held through the zoom app which includes video conferencing we would attend the lecture sitting at any place and then ask for queries and questions.

This summer internship at Modlingua 2021, is an online portal, facilitated the learning process in many ways. It connected all of us across the world, without much pain and effort as we all were just one click away from each other. Without any doubt, expert advice from our mentor Mr. Ravi Kumar enriched our knowledge related to various domains and facilitated the acquaintance of these skills. The guest lectures were a cherry on the cake. These lectures not only help in understanding different perspectives of a single domain but also learn new things. Since Modlingua’s internship provided a great opportunity that focuses specifically on the agenda of ‘teamwork’, and also only individual responsibility, one has a good opportunity to excel in several domains. Modlingua has begun an initiative to train the students without any fees or favor; it is just organized to train the students, to make the students familiar with the field of translation and interpretation. It was not about learning the translation from one language to another but to learn other skills related to this field so that we can act professionally and also the skills which can be useful to us in every sphere. We have learned better writing skills because this can have a good impression on others if we do not do any or very few of the mistakes while sending something to the other person. Later the transcription was also taught to us, something very new to me and can be useful at any point of a given time. We have learned to subtitle in the YouTube lecture so that one can read and understand if not understanding through listening also. The concept of social media marketing was also introduced so we know the concepts and the basics of social media as well as marketing its importance and know how it could be beneficial to us.
My experience at Modlingua was amazing and illuminating. Working in a team helped me to understand my capacities and interests. We were majorly in contact with Mr. Ravi Kumar, the assignments so well structured demonstrate his efforts along with that of the Modlingua team. I believe that working at modeling gave me a boost and practical experience that enhanced my overall personality and psychological determination. I wanted to work in the corporate sector and as an intern at Modlingua was very helpful to enhance my translation and interpretation skills which are required in the corporate sector. Modlingua had given me the opportunities to take up such tasks that I did not even expect that I would do such things in my life.
I would always be grateful for life to Modlingua and to Mr. Ravi Kumar for offering me such an opportunity which has helped me to ameliorate on a professional as well as on a personal level. This internship was great.
