From a London startup to a global translation powerhouse, serving organisations in every major market.
Talkbridge was founded by linguists who understood that translation is not about replacing words - it is about transferring meaning, context, and intent across cultures. Every member of our leadership team has hands-on translation experience.
Today, we operate from 10 offices across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, providing 24/7 coverage for clients who operate globally.
Every translation is completed by a linguist working into their native language. No exceptions, no compromise.
Translators are matched to projects based on domain expertise - legal, financial, medical, technical, or marketing.
CAT tools, translation memory, and AI-assisted QA reduce costs and improve consistency without sacrificing quality.
A named project manager oversees every engagement, providing a single point of contact from brief to delivery.
Our offices in London, New York, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, and Dubai ensure we can work in your timezone. No matter where your business operates, we have local expertise and round-the-clock availability.

Talkbridge was founded in 2009 by a team of linguists and business professionals who saw a gap in the translation industry: enterprises needed fast, reliable, and scalable language services, but were forced to choose between expensive boutique agencies and unreliable freelance marketplaces. We set out to build something different — a company that combined the personal attention of a specialist firm with the global reach and technological infrastructure of a large-scale operation.
In our first year, we focused exclusively on legal and financial translation for London-based law firms and investment banks. The results spoke for themselves: our meticulous quality standards and rapid turnaround earned us repeat business and referrals that fuelled organic growth. By 2012, we had expanded into medical and pharmaceutical translation, obtaining ISO 17100 certification to formalise the quality processes we had already built into every project.
The following years brought international expansion. We opened offices in New York, Sofia, Bucharest, Auckland, Mumbai, Panama City, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin — each staffed with local project managers who understand the cultural and regulatory nuances of their region. This distributed model means that no matter where our clients are based, there is always a Talkbridge team working in their time zone, speaking their language, and anticipating their needs.
Today, Talkbridge manages a network of over 5,000 rigorously vetted, native-speaking translators covering more than 200 language pairs. We serve clients across every major industry — from Fortune 500 corporations and government agencies to hospitals, universities, and high-growth startups. Our proprietary TalkPortal platform gives clients real-time visibility into project status, translator assignments, and quality metrics, making the translation process as transparent and efficient as every other part of their business.
Our internal operating philosophy is built on three pillars that guide how we hire, how we deliver, and how we grow. We call them KIS, KCL, and KGE.
Complexity is the enemy of speed and accuracy. We design every workflow, every client interaction, and every internal process to be as streamlined as possible. From our one-click quote request system to our automated project routing engine, simplicity is engineered into every layer of our operation. Clients should never have to navigate bureaucracy to get a translation done — they submit their project, receive a quote within 30 minutes, and track progress in real time through TalkPortal.
We measure success not by the number of new clients we acquire, but by how many come back. Our 94% client retention rate is the result of deliberate investment in relationship management: dedicated account managers, proactive quality reporting, flexible pricing for high-volume clients, and a genuine willingness to go above and beyond on every project. We believe that loyalty is earned through consistent delivery, not through contracts or lock-in periods.
Controlled, sustainable growth enables us to invest in better technology, attract top-tier linguists, and expand into new markets. Every quarter, we set ambitious but achievable targets for new language pairs, new industry verticals, and new geographic coverage. This disciplined approach to growth has allowed us to double our revenue every three years while maintaining the quality standards and personal service that defined us from day one.
Each office is staffed with local project managers, quality assurance specialists, and client relationship leads who understand the cultural and regulatory landscape of their region.
