The company has even hired skilled translators for every language to help translate the content.

On this development, Anshuman Bapna, CPO of MakeMyTrip said, “Rail transportation, which is the second-biggest travel segment in India, was the fastest-growing travel segment last year. There is tremendous potential in vernacular content and we are investing in services supported by vernacular content to catalyze the offline to online shift.”

Besides, MakeMyTrip also plans to launch the option of language choice for their flight-booking service by end of this year. This will include translating flight-booking service into four regional languages including Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
