Our World

Our company was created in 2006 by three dreamers

MARICEL

Production and Quality Manager

Maricel provides all necessary support to Idea’s Production team and is responsible for the creation of most of Idea’s linguistic guidelines and processes.

SERGIO

Managing Director

Sergio is in charge of all strategic initiatives and he ensures our clients meet their language objectives through our services.

DIEGO

Operations Manager

Diego is responsible for translation and localization management, IT and product development. Diego is the mastermind behind IRIS, our Translation Management System application.

    The idea was simple, to help organizations bridge the language barrier easily by:

  • Using technology.
  • Customizing solutions with the client’s objective at the center.
  • Building long-lasting relationships with our clients, partners and collaborators.
  • Being an agent of change for the communities where we do business and for the planet.


With these premises in mind, we started as a boutique translation company for English to Spanish Educational and Medical Content. We later became specialized in additional industries, such as Pharma, Human Resources, eLearning, Manufacturing, Marketing and Tech. We currently have a team of 50 full-time in-house collaborators that range from translators, reviewers, programmers, and graphic designers to marketing experts, instructional designers and engineers.

Our headquarters are in Springfield, Virginia, USA. Additionally, we have production teams in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, China, Spain, France, Canada and India. We have over 3,500 tested and qualified native translators and reviewers, and 350 subject matter experts for highly specialized content.

We currently hold contracts with organizations such as Panera Bread, Merck, L’Oreal, Merz Aesthetics, The InterAmerican Development Bank, The State of Virginia, Huntington Hospital, The State of Pennsylvania and many other organizations.

Combining the experience of our team, we created IRIS, our unique translation management platform that provides a simple and secure experience, reducing translation requests to product time frames in half. Moreover, our translation memories and productivity tools reduce costs and delivery times, and also increase consistency. The convergence of these factors positions us as a perfect ally for organizations with demanding language needs.
