Companies > Applied Language Solutions

Founded in 2003, with the intention of revolutionising the language services industry, Applied Language Solutions (ALS) is now the world’s fastest growing language services provider.

In addition to providing services to a portfolio of high-profile, global organisations including Caterpillar, Google, Dell and Sony, the company has a dedicated public services division delivering services to police forces, NHS trusts and public bodies across the UK.

ALS has truly capitalised on the benefits of technology, namely by harnessing project delivery and CMS integration through a proprietary online portal. In 2010 this technology-driven translation approach was taken a step further with ALS becoming one of the first vendors in the industry to offer customised machine translation in a commercial environment. Since launching the first phase of "SmartMATE", demand for machine-assisted translation solutions has grown resulting in the development of its online, on demand, self-serve MT technology in 2011 (www.smartmte.co).

ALS has featured in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 twice since 2009. In 2010, the company received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade.

Headquartered in the UK, ALS employs over 135 people throughout its ten international offices in Bulgaria, Guatemala, India, Spain, Germany, France and the USA. The company has grown significantly since its modest beginnings, generating more than £10 million in global sales in 2011.
