What Traducciones y Servicios does

Traducciones y Servicios SAS is a Bogotá-headquartered, privately held translation and interpretation firm founded in 2009, with a secondary office in Miami. It delivers three core service lines: official/certified translations (carried out by translators authorized by Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and accepted by embassies, courts, and universities), specialized technical translation across medical, legal, scientific, financial, IT/software, banking, oil/gas/energy, and hospitality verticals, and simultaneous/consecutive interpretation for conferences, business meetings, and cultural events. Supplementary offerings include website localization, dubbing and subtitling, transcreation and copywriting, document editing with SEO, bilingual attendants, apostille and consular legalization, and training programs for translators and interpreters.

The firm operates a human-delivery model with no disclosed proprietary technology platform, API, or machine-translation infrastructure; pricing is quote-based rather than per-page or per-word, and turnaround targets for official translations are 24-48 hours. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining a website quote form with direct contact via phone, WhatsApp, and email, supported by content marketing (Blog TR+S) and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). Differentiation rests on regulatory authorization by the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ATA corporate membership, multi-vertical domain specialization, and a 'no rejection guarantee' on properly submitted documents.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services-fee-based across seven named revenue streams, all project-priced individually. Customer mix spans individual consumers (primarily immigration, visa, and academic credential use cases), SMEs, and institutional clients including public and private universities, government ministries, embassies, and industrial buyers; only one enterprise-level customer (Carper Labs Y Cia Ltda.) is named in the available evidence, with three individual clients also referenced. Markets served include Colombia, the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, with Spanish-English as the dominant pair and additional capacity in French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian, and Croatian.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• RWS Group: Global language, content, and IP services company formed around SDL and other LSPs. Comparable across certified, technical, and audiovisual translation and interpretation, but serves a much larger enterprise base with technology-led delivery.
• Lionbridge: Global language services provider offering translation, localization, and interpretation across regulated and enterprise verticals. Comparable service mix to Traducciones y Servicios in medical, legal, and technical translation, with substantially broader scale and AI-enabled workflow tooling.
• TransPerfect: Global language services and translation technology incumbent offering certified translation, interpretation, localization, and a full TMS stack. Overlaps with Traducciones y Servicios across all service lines but operates at a vastly larger scale and with proprietary technology.

Emerging players

• Smartling: Translation management and localization platform with human-in-the-loop services. Comparable in the website localization and transcreation lines, and represents the platform-driven competitor likely to capture enterprise translation spend from traditional LSPs like Traducciones y Servicios.
• Bureau Works: LATAM-based translation management platform combining human translators with workflow technology. Comparable in target market and service mix, but represents the technology-enabled model that could eventually disrupt the manual, quote-based approach used by Traducciones y Servicios.

Direct peers

• LanguageLine Solutions: Large-scale interpretation and translation provider serving healthcare, government, and legal customers. Comparable in its core interpretation offering and in its mix of certified document translation, though at significantly greater scale and breadth than Traducciones y Servicios.
• Trusted Translations: Miami-headquartered sworn and certified translation services provider with deep LATAM and US institutional coverage. Closest direct competitor to Traducciones y Servicios given the overlap in certified/official translation, immigration and academic document work, and the US-LATAM corridor focus.
• LSA Interpreters: Interpretation and translation services firm with strong LATAM and US presence across legal, medical, and conference interpretation. Comparable to Traducciones y Servicios in the event interpretation and certified translation mix, with overlapping customer segments.
• PGLS (Precision Language & Graphics): US-based professional translation company serving legal, life sciences, and corporate clients. Comparable in its certified and specialized translation offering and its enterprise customer orientation, though focused primarily on the US market rather than LATAM.
• Pangeanic: Spain-headquartered language service provider offering certified, technical, and audiovisual translation. Comparable mid-sized peer to Traducciones y Servicios with a similar vertical mix and Spanish-language market focus, though more technology-forward.
