Quechua: a language that is gaining importance
Until a few years ago, Quechua was used only as a colloquial language at home and in markets, buses and public or commercial spaces in general. In some regions in particular, Quechua was relegated to family use because it was considered an unofficial indigenous language.
In the last decade, however, public administrations in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru have been making efforts to incorporate Quechua into all areas due to its importance and its recognition as an official language. For this same reason, it is now mandatory to teach Quechua in schools and universities, and in Bolivia it is even a requirement to speak two or three languages in order to work in public institutions. As a result, many official institutions are already providing their employees with training in one of these native languages or hiring personnel who are already proficient in them.
In addition, Quechua is gradually being incorporated into signage systems. For example, in Peru it is used on signs in streets and squares and in Bolivia it appears on posters and signs in many hospitals and some consulates. All of this shows that Quechua is becoming increasingly important and that it is necessary to continue fostering a growing appreciation of the language.

Main language pairs for translation into Quechua
Translation from Quechua to Spanish – Spanish to Quechua
The relationship between Spanish and Quechua is deepl-lying, dating back to the initial contact between the Spanish and native peoples. From the outset of the colonial period, Spanish was imposed as the official language, but Quechua was also widely used, particularly for catechizing the native population. Spanish is the official language in the three countries where Quechua is spoken: Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. Therefore, the demand for translation between Spanish and Quechua is vital to ensure that the entire population of these countries has equal access to information, government, and social services. Spanish to Quechua translation is currently used in a broad range of contexts, including education, health, government, and media.
Translation from Quechua to English – English to Quechua
Unlike Spanish, English does not have a long history of direct contact with Quechua. However, English has become a global language and its teaching is highly valued in Peru, often in contrast to Quechua. In response to this disparity, educators have begun to innovate in the teaching of Quechua. For instance, they have worked on translating and dubbing clips from popular films and programs into Quechua, allowing the language to be used as a living tool for communication and artistic expression. Increasing bilingualism and globalization are encouraging greater exchange between these languages, especially since Quechua speakers seek to participate in broader and more diverse contexts.
Translation from Quechua to other Andean languages
Quechua is closely related to other native languages of the original peoples of the Andes, such as Aymara, Puquina, and Uru. As these languages gain a foothold in the public sphere, the demand for translation between them has increased, not only to promote bilingualism and linguistic preservation but also to affirm cultural identity and strengthen communication among the diverse native peoples of the Andean region.
