What Школа Сихронного Перевода при Tris Translation Centre does

Tris Translation Centre (Бюро перекладів «ТРІС»), founded in 1993 in Kyiv, is a full-cycle Ukrainian translation and interpretation services bureau and the originator of the country's first full-service translation agency model. The firm provides written translation across 44 foreign languages spanning legal, medical, technical, economic, and other specialized domains, alongside simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, document legalization (apostille, consular legalization, notarized certification, nostrification), software and website localization, multimedia translation with subtitling and dubbing, conference organization with equipment rental, VIP account management, and courier delivery. The company maintains a network of more than 700 freelance interpreters and translators with subject-matter expertise, supported by its sub-brand — the Simultaneous Interpretation School (Школа синхронного перекладу), Ukraine's first specialized interpreter training program, which feeds top graduates back into Tris's service pool.

The technology stack is anchored by SDL Trados translation memory software for terminology consistency and quality assurance, paired with proprietary interpretation equipment including infrared receivers, interpreter booths, conference systems, and mobile Tour Guide systems. The business model is transaction- and service-based: per-page pricing for written translation (from 70 UAH per 2000-character page), per-day rates for interpretation (1000-2500 UAH for two interpreters), fixed course fees (5800-7200 UAH), and recurring corporate discounts that scale to 7-10% from the fourth order onward. Customer concentration is moderate, spanning Ukrainian government and central bank (National Bank of Ukraine, MFA, MOJ, MIA, SBU), state-owned enterprises (Ukrzaliznytsia, Energoatom), banks (Ukreximbank, Ukiobank), media (First Channel, NTN), pharmaceutical multinationals (Bristol-Myers Squibb, SmithKline Beecham), and professional services firms (Ernst & Young). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, competitive tenders, multi-tier referral and discount programs, and a tri-language (Ukrainian, Russian, English) web presence at tris.ua, with two Kyiv offices (headquarters at Volodymyrska 40/2 and a secondary site near Kontraktova Ploshcha metro) and remote order intake from any Ukraine city or abroad via courier or email delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Lionbridge: Lionbridge is a global translation, localization, and interpretation services provider serving enterprise customers across technology, life sciences, and government. Comparable to Tris in offering translation plus interpretation plus content localization, but operating globally rather than regionally.
• Welocalize: Welocalize is a global translation and localization company offering translation, interpretation, and content services to enterprise customers, with particular strength in legal, financial, and life sciences verticals. Comparable to Tris on vertical focus (legal/banking/healthcare) and government/enterprise mix.
• RWS Group: RWS Group (which acquired SDL) is a UK-headquartered translation, localization, and intellectual property services company combining technology (Trados, the same TM platform Tris uses) with full-service translation delivery. Direct comparable on technology stack and service mix, but operating globally.
• LanguageLine Solutions: LanguageLine Solutions is the largest dedicated interpretation services provider in the world, focused on telephone, video, and on-site interpretation across 200+ languages. Closest direct overlap with Tris's simultaneous/consecutive interpretation and conference equipment offerings, but at massive US/global scale.
• Acolad: Acolad is a European leader in translation, localization, and content services with strong government and enterprise client bases across multiple European markets. Closer to Tris in regional scale and customer mix than the top global players, making it a useful peer for comparison on service portfolio and pricing.
• TransPerfect: TransPerfect is the world's largest privately-held translation and localization services company, offering written translation, interpretation, and localization across virtually all industries and languages. Comparable to Tris as a full-service translation bureau serving enterprise and government clients, but at vastly greater global scale.

Emerging players

• Translated: Translated is an Italy-based translation services company pairing human linguists with proprietary AI translation technology (ModernMT). Comparable to Tris on full-service translation/interpretation but differentiated by its AI-augmented workflow that competes against traditional bureaus like Tris.
• Unbabel: Unbabel combines AI translation with human post-editors to provide enterprise-grade translation services, with growing interpretation capabilities. Represents the AI-augmented service model that competes with traditional bureaus like Tris in the written translation segment.
• Language Scientific: Language Scientific is a US-based translation company specializing in scientific, medical, and technical translation — the same specialized verticals (medical, pharmaceutical, technical) that Tris serves for clients like SmithKline Beecham and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Useful peer for vertical-specialist positioning.
• Smartling: Smartling is a translation management platform and services provider, combining cloud-based translation technology with human linguists. Comparable to Tris's software/website localization offerings, though platform-centric rather than services-centric in delivery.
