True translation professionals

Founded in 2010, Travod is a global provider of expert language services and agile technology solutions for businesses worldwide. Built on a strong belief that content should be accessible to everyone, transcending linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries, Travod came a long way to become one of the language industry's leading players.

Back then, it was an unknown startup with roots in Eastern Europe, whose founders realised through their own experiences how difficult it is to get commercial documentation translated into other languages. Locating the right specialist translators for your subject matter, explaining all the requirements, style preferences, formatting rules, and implementing feedback. That sounds a lot like project management!

And project management has stood at the heart of Travod's core development and growth. By gradually building strategic partnerships with top language service providers, we have worked on countless localisation projects. This has honed our localisation expertise and efficiency, helping us become true translation professionals, capable of translating any content and implementing even the most complex translation processes. We have become problem solvers.

A leading global language provider

Over the years, Travod has grown to become one of the language industry's most prominent players, and since 2018 has been ranked as a language industry challenger and one of the world's top 100 LSPs. Travod has always been committed to the highest standards of quality in the translation industry and completed its ISO certification (ISO 9001 and ISO 17100) in 2018. In 2019 a major reorganisation was implemented, including a visual rebranding and a new corporate strategy, oriented towards customer centricity and sustainable growth.

Today, Travod is headquartered in London, UK, and has a multinational team of over 130 employees and a network of 5,000 trusted linguists and language professionals, who collaborate across offices and time zones to provide bespoke translation services and technology solutions to each of our clients. With a strategic network of global sales and production hubs operating in a Follow-the-Sun model, we ensure fully uninterrupted 24/7 service. Our valuable experience now helps our international clients in Manufacturing, Automotive, E-commerce, Retail, Healthcare and E-learning with challenges such as ensuring high translation quality, meeting tight deadlines, budgeting for localisation costs, and managing complex translation workflows – future-proofing them for a global audience in over 100 languages.
