What Littera does

Littera24 is a privately held, human-only translation and localization agency founded in 2010 and headquartered in Riga, Latvia, with additional offices in Wilmington, Delaware (United States) and Tallinn, Estonia. The company delivers certified, notarized, and Apostille-supported translation services across more than 80 languages for two primary customer groups: individual clients requiring immigration, academic, and personal document translation accepted by authorities such as USCIS, UK Home Office, embassies, and courts, and business clients requiring legal, medical, technical, and corporate document translation with terminology consistency and confidentiality controls.

The service portfolio spans document translation, certified translation, notarized translation, Apostille and legalization, business translation, website localization (including SEO-aware adaptation for WordPress, Magento, Joomla, and WooCommerce), software localization, interpreting, and proofreading/copyediting. Underlying technology is built on SDL Trados and Memsource computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, which provide translation memory and terminology consistency, layered on top of a seven-stage quality management process culminating in a T+E (translation plus second-linguist editing) workflow. The company explicitly excludes machine-translation output from its certified deliverables.

Littera24 operates a fully remote-first ordering model: customers upload documents via website quote form or email, receive a quote within 30 minutes, and receive standard delivery within 24–48 hours. Revenue is generated through per-word and per-page unit pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis, with tiered rush/priority/urgent surcharges and add-on modules for notarization and Apostille. Go-to-market is sales-led and inbound, driven by SEO-optimized multilingual web content, a long-form blog, and broad social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok), with industry-association memberships (ITI, ProZ, GALA, ELIA) supporting credibility in regulated translation workflows. The company reports 5,000+ completed projects since inception and a 4.8/5 Google Reviews rating across 580 reviews.
