Everything You Always Wanted to Know
About Us
tolingo is a leading international translation agency. Since 2007, we have been translating texts into more than 220 language combinations, adapting them to the respective cultural context, and editing them with precision.
This allows us to create translations that are both linguistically sophisticated and highly accurate.
We do all this with certified quality. tolingo is one of the few translation service providers that is ISO-certified in four categories: translation expertise, quality management, and information security.
In this way, our approximately 50 employees in Hamburg, together with around 6,000 native speakers, ensure that our customers' messages have an impact worldwide.
