About Us

 We're in business to help yours succeed 
Tradas is a Brussels-based full-service translation consultancy and editing service.
From the very outset, we have operated according to two practical principles: our business can only succeed if yours does, and our linguistic skills and technical expertise can help drive your growth.
This synergistic partnership we enjoy with our clients is underpinned by:
  • Our ever-expanding offering of value-for-money linguistic and technical services
  • Our proactive approach — we listen, anticipate and act
  • International recognition of quality — ISO 9001:2000 certification

Where quality meets complexity

Our single-minded commitment to quality is based on treating translations as a business asset rather than a necessary and time-consuming evil.
And today the costs of publishing translated texts can climb exponentially — in terms of time, effort and money — as businesses communicate with their markets in ever-increasing frequency, languages, media and formats.

Tradas has the expertise and experience to take over responsibility for these complexities and quality concerns on your behalf. This enables you and your people to devote more time and effort to your core business or organisational objectives.

Over the past 20 years, Tradas has established proficiency in three key areas:
  • Linguistic expertise — rapid, accurate translations and meticulous multilingual editing.
  • Technical expertise — translated or edited texts delivered on time in any format (e.g. prepress document, website, software interface).
  • Management expertise — intelligent proactive project management throughout the translation, editing and production process.

All this complex workflow and quality control are co-ordinated by our skilled and dedicated Management Team in Brussels, the linguistic capital of Europe.

From Brussels to the world

Since 1987, the geographic spread of our linguistic services has grown to meet ever-increasing demand. We now cover all combinations of European and Asian languages, plus Arabic. Today we work with small and large public and private organisations operating in and across numerous national markets.

Consultancy for today's needs

The days are long gone when the translation process was merely a commercial transaction (you order, we deliver). In today's competitive and complex communication's arena, client and agency share common interests. This implies regular and tailor-made interaction to meet these objectives. To this end, Tradas offers the knowledge, skills and dedication of a team of people who know how to analyse and identify an organisation's specific linguistic needs and assets. And leverage and coordinate them to your best advantage.

Obviously a network of skilled, dedicated translators and editors is still at the heart of the process. However, nowadays a full-service translation consultancy should ensure you get the maximum benefits that information technology and the Internet offer. Benefits such as enhanced quality through the use of translation environment tools, and a simplified publishing and communication process.
