Welcome...

The discovery that language can be a barrier to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing, business, or data dissemination, the lack of a common language can severely impede progress and can halt it altogether.

About us

European Language Services is a South African company that was created to address the rapidly growing need for language services in South Africa, as the country enters the global market.  European Language Services offers a wide range of professional translation services in European and Oriental languages.

The company was established in January 1995 and, ever since then, we have been growing from strength to strength, as more and more leading South African and international companies choose to rely on European Language Services for all their language-related needs. 

Our unrelenting focus and continued dedication to what we do did not go unrewarded and today European Language Services has evolved into a leading translation bureau with a solid reputation for service excellence, quality, reliability and efficiency, which, in turn, has translated into some very real benefits for our clients:  our extensive customer base and a large number of assignments running concurrently at any given moment in time allow us to attract and retain the very best language professionals, while keeping our rates well below the arbitrarily inflated prices suggested by other companies operating in this field and, in many cases, well below the prices of many freelance translators.
