Our Story

Our story began in 1965, when our founder, Carles Gisbert, established the company to translate telecommunications documentation from Swedish into Spanish. What started as a specialized service quickly expanded, driven by a clear business vision and a strong interest in connecting people and organizations across borders.

From an early stage, we looked for ways to work more efficiently and collaborate with linguists beyond our immediate network. Tools such as dictation systems and fax machines helped improve workflows and expand our reach. As technology evolved, so did the way we worked. From floppy disks and postal deliveries to digital workflows and the internet, each technological shift helped improve collaboration and project delivery.

This openness to new ways of working naturally led us toward technology. Early on, we recognized the potential of IT to transform documentation and translation, and established our own R&D function to explore new possibilities.

In the early 1980s, we developed Transbase, one of the first translation memory systems. At a time when such tools were not yet widely used, it enabled the reuse of previously translated content, improving efficiency and supporting terminology reuse across projects.

Technology has remained a core part of how we work ever since, supporting quality, scalability, and process efficiency as our services have evolved.

As the company grew, we expanded beyond our original markets and established an international network of offices that enabled us to stay close to our customers while supporting projects across regions and industries.

The expansion began with the opening of our Brussels office in 1992 and continued throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. Each new location strengthened our local presence, broadened our language capabilities, and brought us closer to the customers and markets we serve.

As our teams became more distributed, collaboration across locations became increasingly important. As early as 2005, we adopted video conferencing as a primary way of working, long before it became standard.

This decision helped shape the way we operate today, enabling closer collaboration across offices and time zones and supporting a more connected organization, regardless of location.

Today, the language industry is evolving rapidly, driven by advances in artificial intelligence and large language models.

We integrate these technologies into our workflows in a practical and structured way, combining them with human expertise. Our Language Operations Platform brings together the different stages of language production and supports efficient, scalable, and reliable delivery.

Alongside the platform, we develop complementary tools and customer-focused AI solutions, including customer portals, terminology systems, and integrations that connect our services with customer environments and support evolving requirements.

Our development has always been shaped by a desire to improve the way we work, making processes more efficient, delivery more reliable, and collaboration easier.

As technology, customer expectations, and global communication continue to evolve, we remain focused on developing smarter workflows, stronger collaboration, and innovative solutions that support evolving requirements.
