What Lango does

Lango is a technology-enabled language services company founded in 2016 that provides interpretation, translation, and accessibility services to over 1,000 enterprise customers across healthcare, legal, government, education, social services, and business verticals. The company's core offering is the Lango Central Platform, a cloud-based portal that unifies language service workflows — including phone, video, on-site, on-demand, and conference interpretation (200+ languages including ASL), certified document translation, AI machine translation, patent and IP translation, transcription, subtitling, and voice-over — alongside a customer-facing client portal for service management. Underlying technology includes secure AI machine translation built on neural networks and natural language processing with custom-trained domain models, API integrations to OneDrive, Box, Google Drive, and FTP, and skills-based interpreter routing.

Lango operates a multi-brand family of companies comprising Translation & Interpretation Network (TIN), Language Partners, Affordable Language Services, and Lango Deaf/HoH to serve different price points and specialty verticals including dedicated Deaf and Hard of Hearing services. The company is HIPAA-compliant, holds training credentials aligned with ATA, IMIA, NCIHC, and NAJIT, maintains 13 U.S. office locations, and reports over 60 years of combined linguistic experience across its team and partner network. Revenue is generated through transaction-based interpretation and translation pricing (usage-based for interpretation, per-word/per-document for translation), subscription options for secure machine translation, and unit pricing for training courses. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B targeting enterprise clients through direct engagement, online request forms, and 24/7 on-demand service availability. The company is privately held and venture-backed by Bonfire Ventures, Mucker Capital, and PLG Ventures.
