Working with the Best
Our Translators

Our translation projects are successful because we rely on the high expertise and linguistic skills of our global translators. Their willingness to fully engage makes all the difference.

Therefore, when selecting our professionals, we place great emphasis on quality standards that go beyond traditional resume criteria such as qualifications and experience. Reliability, initiative, and continuous professional development are crucial to becoming part of our global translation team.

Furthermore, we ensure that each assignment is handled by a translator who only translates into their native language and resides in the target language country.

The challenge of transferring the meaning of a text from one language to another, without altering the tone or affecting the style, is something I find particularly exciting and rewarding. Through my translation work, I also have the opportunity to immerse myself in the mindsets of others, which I find great.

I enjoy creating translations for tolingo. It’s a pleasant collaboration. What I like the most are texts that were not originally translated from another language.

Working with tolingo allows me to gain knowledge in new professional fields. One of my favorite texts was about a mobile football pitch, which was used to entertain children in refugee camps.
