Our History

Every venture begins as an idea. An idea that is inextricably linked to the history of the person who first conceived it. From this premise, here we have integrated the translation history of our Managing Director, E. Koert, including the crucial points that led to the establishment of Koert Translations in Zurich, and its development since!

2008The start of my career in translation

My first assignments as a translator came from one of my professors at university in Taiwan, and soon I was translating build-operate-transfer (BOT) project analyses, master dissertations, and other academic texts for professors or professor-mediated clients.

2009Expanding my client network

Following my new-found passion for translation, I joined Proz, the world’s largest community of translators, and henceforth entered into many new language service relationships, some of which endure to this day.

2017Genesis of my vision for Koert Translations

After many years of working as a translation professional, the time had come to take the next step. The idea for Koert Translations was conceived in January 2017, after a two-week Vipassana mindfulness retreat at a Buddhist Sanctuary in Malaysia.

2018Incorporation of Koert Translations

In February of 2018, Koert Translations was officially established in Zurich, Switzerland. Soon after, in March, we incorporated Koert Translations LLP in the UK. We are now open for business!

2023New EU Project Management Base

On November 15th, 2023, we incorporated Koert Language Solutions OÜ in Tallinn, Estonia, to serve as our European Project Management Base for the future. We are now ready to scale, and we look forward to expanding our team!
