Translated is a pioneering company in the language services industry, established in 1999 by computer scientist Marco Trombetti and linguist Isabelle Andrieu. The company was founded on the principle of leveraging technology to assist human translators, a vision that has positioned it at the forefront of artificial intelligence-driven translation solutions. Operating on a unique symbiosis between professional human linguists and advanced machine intelligence, Translated aims to make communication seamless and accessible for everyone, regardless of their native language. The company's mission is to allow everyone to understand and be understood, viewing language as an opportunity rather than a barrier. This is achieved through a powerful combination of a vast network of over 500,000 vetted, native-speaking professional translators and proprietary AI-powered tools that enhance speed, consistency, and quality.
Since its inception with a modest investment, Translated has grown organically, achieving profitability every year without external funding until a significant growth equity investment in 2021. The company serves a diverse global clientele, from innovative startups to large enterprises, across 194 languages and 40 areas of expertise. Its commitment to innovation is evident in its development of cutting-edge technologies like ModernMT, an adaptive machine translation system, and the T-Rank™ system, which algorithmically selects the best translator for a specific job. Translated has received numerous accolades for its contributions to AI research, including recognition from the European Commission. Beyond its core business, the company invests its profits into Pi Campus, a venture capital firm and startup incubator that nurtures talent in the AI field, further solidifying its commitment to fostering innovation and human potential.
