Our Story
From a small Cardiff office to a trusted partner for global organisations, here's how we got here
Rooted in Cardiff
Lingo Service began with one aim: translations that keep the meaning, context and cultural nuance, not just the words. Cardiff is our home, and today we offer translation in more than 260 languages with native-speaking linguists.
Trusted by the public sector
The Welsh Government's communications teams and NHS organisations are among our clients, alongside councils and universities. We are on the government's AI supplier list (RM6200) and the Keep Wales Tidy supplier list, and we are bidding for more public sector frameworks.
Certified quality
We were first certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 in 2016. We are corporate members of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) and hold Cyber Essentials certification.
Clients around the world
Our clients include Formula 1, UNICEF, Save the Children and Sotheby's, as well as law firms and global companies such as Hitachi.
Today
Modern translation tools and AI-assisted workflows give you instant online quotes and fast turnaround, while our qualified linguists make sure every translation is right.
