Vietnamese and Ukrainian added to our language set!


Iota LS were recently contracted to start a major project in what are two new languages for us; Vietnamese and Ukrainian. This brings the total of languages that Iota LS offer to 26. By “offer” we mean that we are performing work in these languages, now, and in large volume (projects of 75k words or more). We don’t mean that we produced an obscure brochure for a customer once (2 million years ago). And we don’t mean that we could do these languages; we do these languages.

Map 1914

Our current set of active languages are Arabic, Brazilian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish (all flavours), Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Not bad for a niche company.
