About Us

Hoffman Estates, IL. Since 2014, translating tech for tech companies.

Software translation is a specific problem that requires specific people. We built the agency around that constraint from the start.

Our Story

Built for tech teams
that need files back fast.

Time2Translate started translating software documentation because the founding team had worked inside software companies and experienced firsthand how much of a localization project breaks when the translator does not understand what they are reading. A string like "Retry after {delay_ms}ms" cannot be translated correctly by someone who does not know what a millisecond delay or a code placeholder is.

We built the agency around that specific problem. Every translator we add to a project roster has demonstrated background in the content type they are assigned to. Software translators have software experience. API documentation goes to technical writers who know what an API is. Marketing content for a SaaS company goes to someone who has done SaaS marketing, not general consumer copywriting.

Based in Hoffman Estates with a distributed team of specialist translators in North America, Europe, and Asia. Most of our clients come from SaaS, field service software, B2B platforms, and mobile development companies.

How We Work

What we do not
compromise on.

Content-type matching

Software strings go to software translators. API docs go to technical writers. Marketing copy goes to market-aware copywriters. We do not assign by language pair alone.

Format integrity standard

We return files in the exact format provided. JSON structure preserved. XLIFF tags intact. PO file headers maintained. No format conversion needed from your team.

Confirmed timelines

Delivery date confirmed before work starts, not after. If a deadline cannot be met, we tell you before ordering. We do not overpromise to close the sale.

Translation memory

Every project builds a translation memory. Repeat strings in future projects process faster and cost less. Ongoing clients see meaningful savings by the second quarter.
