What WeTranslate does

WeTranslate Complete Solutions SRL is a Bucharest-based translation and interpreting agency that has operated since 2015 as the self-declared #1 online translation agency in Romania. The company delivers authorized translations (bearing the signature and seal of Ministry of Justice-authorized translators), notarized/legalized translations, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, and audio-video subtitling and transcription across more than 90 languages through a curated network of 600+ authorized translators and interpreters. Customers are served primarily online via a quote-to-delivery workflow with a 30–60 minute quote turnaround, multi-channel intake (web, WhatsApp, phone, walk-in), and dual payment rails (MobilPay, Stripe), with physical notarization the only step requiring office presence.

The product portfolio is structured around three pricing tiers—Economy (human translation only), Optimal (third-party AI translation from Central Artificial Intelligence Agency Inc. followed by human authorized-translator review, priced ~10% above Economy), and Premium (100% human with double authorized-translator review, ~50% above Economy)—plus a free medical-translation program for chronically ill children (0–14) funded at 1,000 EUR/month. The operational stack is standardized on Zoho (CRM, Desk, Mail, WorkDrive, SalesIQ) for order management, SmartBill for invoicing, and courier integrations with Fan Courier (domestic) and TNT/FedEx (international).

The business is bootstrapped, 100% Romanian-capital, and organized as a group of five legal entities (WeTranslate Complete Solutions, WeTranslate More Than Words, WeTranslate Online Translations, WeTranslate Fast Translations, WeTranslate Best Translations), all registered in Bucharest. No external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed. Cumulative disclosed scale since founding: 40,000+ clients served, 110,000+ orders completed, and 1.3 million+ pages translated, with 99.9% claimed customer satisfaction and 4,400+ Google reviews averaging ~4.5 stars.
