About Us.
At translate.IT, we bridge decades of expertise with forward-thinking approaches to language solutions.
Herbert Egert, our founder, brings 40+ years of unparalleled industry experience. His remarkable journey — from language instruction to building an eight-figure translation agency, leading 35-person teams during the dot-com era, to specializing in legal and financial translation — has shaped our core values of precision, expertise, and craftsmanship. His enduring passion for translation as both an art and a profession remains our guiding principle.
In 2022, Herbert’s son, David Egert, joined the company, infusing fresh energy and strategic vision. With expertise in entrepreneurship, project management, and process optimization, David has modernized translate.IT's operations — implementing lean workflows, adopting continuous localization models, and integrating cutting-edge tools for today's dynamic localization demands.
This powerful combination of generational expertise allows us to deliver exceptional quality in our specialized fields: legal, financial, technical, marketing, and software localization between English, French, and German. Every project — whether high-volume or mission-critical — receives our unwavering commitment to clarity, accuracy, and meticulous attention to detail.
When you choose translate.IT, you get more than a service provider — you gain trusted partners who stand behind every word.

Having built and managed successful translation companies ourselves, we intimately understand complexities and preassure agencies face. We don't operate based on assumptions — we spot issues, anticipate needs, maintain clear communication, and proactively address challenges before they impact your workflow.
