A Munster company offering interpreting and translation services is aiming to address the significant gap in training in the sector with expanding operations across Europe.

Translit has offices in Cork and Limerick as well as new locations in London and Moscow. Last year, during the global pandemic, they recognised an opportunity to set up their own training division to address the standards of interpreter training.
