With the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) advancing into deeper stages, the economic cooperation and cultural exchanges between China and participating countries have been continuously deepened. As a fundamental supporting element for cross-cultural collaboration and economic engagement, the language services sector is witnessing dual trends of growing demand and escalating quality for talents, aiming to provide professional support for the sustainable development of the BRI. This paper elaborates on the current development state of translation talents in language services under the BRI framework, analyzes industry demands for application-oriented, interdisciplinary, and innovative translation talents, and proposes cultivation measures from four dimensions: academic empowerment, industry-education collaboration, research integration, and cultural dissemination. This paper aims to effectively enhance the professional capabilities and overall quality of translation talents in language services under the BRI framework, vigorously strengthen the cross-cultural communication and dissemination, continuously improve the language service infrastructure, and thereby contribute to language connectivity and cooperation in the construction of the BRI.
