Every milestone in the Talkbridge story reflects a deliberate decision to invest in quality, expand into new markets, and build technology that makes translation faster and more transparent. Here is how we grew from a small UK operation into a global language services company.

Defining Moments in the Talkbridge Story

Achieving ISO 17100 certification validated our quality-first approach and opened doors to government, institutional, and enterprise contracts that require independently verified translation standards. The certification has been renewed without interruption every year since.

Our proprietary client platform transformed how clients interact with translation services — replacing email-based workflows with real-time project submission, tracking, and asset management. TalkPortal has since been iterated through three major versions and processes over 4,000 projects per month.

Talkbridge by the Numbers

Opening offices in New York and Sofia marked the beginning of our distributed operations model. This decision to invest in local presence across multiple continents — rather than centralising everything in London — became the foundation of our 24/7 coverage capability and cultural expertise.

Being named “Translation Company of the Year” by the European Language Industry Association validated a decade of investment in quality, technology, and client service. The award recognised our innovative approach to combining human expertise with workflow automation.

Fifteen years of disciplined, sustainable growth have transformed Talkbridge from a local operation into a global language services company.
