TrueLanguage and Powerling: A Global Translation Leader
On June 1, 2023, TrueLanguage became part of Powerling, one of the world’s top 100 language service providers, with offices in Lille, Paris, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Boston… and now Atlanta.
TrueLanguage, LLC was founded in 2006 and has since become a leading provider of translation and localization services to businesses internationally. Powerling, founded in 1998, has a long history of providing high-quality translation services to clients across a range of industries.
The merger was driven by a shared vision for creating a global translation leader capable of offering clients a wider range of services and greater expertise. The combined company will leverage the strengths of both organizations to provide the highest quality of language services.
Our mutual commitment and dedication to our clients, our willingness to listen and give our best to make each project a success, and our determination to find innovative solutions tailor-made to customer needs – each of these common qualities makes us a great match for one another.
What’s more, as a member of Powerling, we are embracing our commitment to making the world fairer and more sustainable. The Powerling family is awaiting their B Corp Certification – Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
Because of our joining forces with Powerling, TrueLanguage presently has more resources and greater access to technology. Our in-house IT team is now enabled more than ever to create custom connectors that adapt to your environment and facilitate traceability while maximizing efficiency. We always adjust to your workflow and never ask you to adjust to ours.
While our clients will benefit from the expanded service offerings and resources, your dedicated TrueLanguage teams, from linguists to project managers, remain the same and will continue to be here for you as always.
Combining our two companies will have a significant impact on the translation industry, as together we will be able to offer clients a more comprehensive suite of services than either company could on its own. The new company will also have a larger global footprint.
TrueLanguage will retain its name as a subsidiary of Powerling. TrueLanguage’s website will be updated to reflect the association with Powerling, and clients will be notified of any changes to their services or points of contact. There will be no interruption of services, only enhancements.
The TrueLanguage team would like to thank our clients for their ongoing support and partnership. We look forward to continuing to serve them as a Powerling company.
Better Together!
