The language policy of India, a multilingual state par excellence, is intended to be inclusive, right down to the most minority languages, with a multidirectional application of administrative translation protected by law. In reality, this policy is hierarchical. It gives pride of place to Hindi among regional languages, and is not applied to many minorities. This is reflected in the public/private initiatives that have been developing digital localization technologies for vernacular languages at a rapid pace since 2020. The combination of translation is most often from English to other languages in a recurring order (Hindi, then the first seven regional languages, then the other listed languages), indicating the pre-eminence of English and the symbolic place of other languages in this hierarchy. This emphasis on mastery of the languages “at the top” of the pyramid does not encourage the development of translation into minority languages, or even between “listed languages” other than Hindi. What’s more, the current translation policy does not precisely define the criteria for its implementation. Moreover, for almost 10 years now, India has been banking on the development of its economy through digital technology. Non-English-speaking Internet users represent a gigantic market for the private sector, as well as a pool of skills, provided they can access the knowledge hitherto dispensed in English. This development towards Indian languages also reflects the nationalist ideology advocated by the current government. The example of the dissemination of information during the COVID-19 pandemic shows, however, that the languages of the most vulnerable minorities were not taken into account. And yet, new information technologies, particularly AI, can become allies in preserving and translating minority languages.

This research aims to describe the perspectives of associate teachers in vocational training on the support approach of novice teachers as well as its challenges (Paul, 2004). Seven semi-directed interviews were conducted as part of an action research aimed at developing a support process favourable to the integration of novice teachers in a professional training centre in the greater Montreal area. A thematic analysis (Paillé & Mucchielli, 2021) assisted by the NVivo software shows that the support approach of associate teachers varies according to their values and the degree of autonomy perceived among novice teachers.
