Traduco Srl

What Traduco Srl does

Traduco Srl is an Italian translation and interpretation agency headquartered in Lugo di Romagna (Ravenna) and operating since 1991. The company delivers professional language services — written translation, sworn/certified translation with apostille and legalization, consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, multilingual desktop publishing, subtitling, dubbing, and voice-over — to a mix of Italian enterprises (Ibix SRL, Ga.Ma. SRL, Iccrea Banca, PIRINOLI), SMEs, public administrations, and private individuals. Work is executed through a core internal team of five project managers and administrators plus a curated network of approximately 150 mother-tongue freelance translators and interpreters organized by sector specialization (technical, legal, financial, medical-pharmaceutical, agro-food, marketing, cosmetics, tourism).

The company's technical stack combines computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, translation memories, and customized terminology glossaries with neural machine translation (NMT) routed through secure, non-public AI platforms that do not train on client data. Output is post-edited by human specialists to reconcile machine output with sector-specific terminology, regulatory requirements, and brand voice. Multilingual desktop publishing is performed directly in InDesign, Office formats, and technical formats (XML, HTML, CSV, MIF) with code-preserving text extraction. The firm is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 17100:2015 (translation services), positioning it as a quality-assured alternative to non-certified local providers, particularly for certified/sworn translation workflows tied to the Italian court system.

Traduco monetizes exclusively through professional-services fees: per-word, per-page, or per-project pricing delivered via free non-binding quotes, with an AI-assisted tier priced below the standard human translation tier to compete on high-volume work. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, with phone, WhatsApp, email, and an online quote form as primary intake; MEPA public procurement registration supports public-sector sales. No external funding, parent company, or institutional investor involvement is disclosed; ownership is founder-held with a registered share capital of €50,000. Channel partnerships (web agency for localization, Zoom/Teams for remote interpretation, Shopify/WPML for digital content) extend delivery capability without changing the underlying project-based revenue model.

Broad incumbents

• RWS Group: UK-based multinational specializing in translation, localization and intellectual property services, owner of Trados CAT tools. Competes with Traduco in professional translation and IP/patent translation but at enterprise scale with proprietary technology assets.

• LanguageLine Solutions: US-based leader in on-demand interpretation (phone, video, in-person), serving healthcare, government and financial institutions. Highly comparable to Traduco's interpretation business but operates massive-scale remote interpreter networks across thousands of language combinations.
