Lionbridge Celebrates International Translation Day 2023

Translation unveils the many faces of humanity. It breaks down barriers, removes our masks, and connects us as human beings. It allows us to expand upon the innately human capacity for language and express our innermost selves. It gives us a glimpse into cultures and lives other than our own, nurturing our empathy and broadening our perspectives. Translation uncovers untold stories, bringing readers face-to-face with the reality that we are all connected by the common thread of the human experience.

This International Translation Day, Lionbridge celebrates the individuals that bring us together: our translation community. Just as they relentlessly work to showcase the stories and experiences of others, each Lionbridge linguist has their own unique story to tell.

Our Translation Community

Made up of over 500,000 expert linguists, the Lionbridge Translation Community is a home for global individuals who proudly embrace their skills to achieve a broader worldview. These global individuals are adept at reconciling – and embracing – their differences to collaborate across time zones, languages, and cultures.

Our community is diverse, with members in 450+ locales who speak 380+ languages. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and specialties – doctors, lawyers, teachers, programmers, scientists, engineers, and more – bringing decades of experience to the table.

Driven by passion and curiosity, many members of our translation community don't reside in the same place they grew up or studied in. Their unparalleled enthusiasm breeds messages that resonate and tales that captivate. Our linguists care deeply about language, their work, and the people they serve. They eagerly travel the world in a never-ending quest to understand different languages, cultures, and people, soaking up new experiences and honing their talents wherever they go.

Step into their shoes – travel the world and meet members of the Lionbridge Translation Community to discover their stories and what makes them roar.

Celebrating Translators

Today and every day, Lionbridge celebrates the many unique paths that have led our translators, interpreters, and Subject Matter Experts to where they are now. We thank them for the indispensable service they provide.

As a people-first technology company, Lionbridge places immense importance on recruiting only the most passionate and curious talent. We look for individuals who take pride in their work, who are constantly learning, and who eagerly embrace the dynamic nature of language.
