• Acolad secured two major contracts with the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union
• The contracts with Translation Centre entail the delivery of translation services for technical regulations and rules on information society services laid down in Directive (EU) 2015/1535

Acolad, the global leader in content and language solutions, is starting off 2025 with a notable achievement for the group, after being awarded two major contracts by the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union.

These contracts focus on providing critical translation services for the implementation of the Single Market Transparency Directive (Directive (EU) 2015/1535), previously overseen by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and SMEs.

After a highly competitive public tender process featuring several major contenders, the Translation Centre selected Acolad to handle the translation of technical regulations and rules on information society services. The project involves delivering precise translations between English and 23 EU languages, reinforcing Acolad’s reputation for quality and reliability.

“We are honored to have been selected by the Translation Centre to undertake these vital tasks,” said Bertrand Gstalder, CEO of Acolad. “This renewed collaboration is a significant milestone for our company and a testament to Acolad’s leading performance in the industry. By combining the latest technological advancements with our decades of expertise, we are proud to deliver best-in-class services that support the EU’s objectives of transparency and regulatory compliance, ensuring the highest quality for all stakeholders.”

Nicolas Coucke, Acolad’s SVP for Northern and Continental Europe, stated: “This achievement attests to the talent and expertise of our teams, particularly our linguists and dedicated operations and sales professionals. Their unwavering effort and dedication have made this incredible milestone possible. Acolad takes pride in having one of the most talented pools of experts in the industry, and we look forward to continuing to grow this exceptional team in the coming months, further strengthening our commitment to customer excellence.

By entrusting Acolad once again with these critical translation services, the Translation Centre and its end client, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and SMEs, aim to guarantee stakeholders access to accurate and timely information. This commitment supports informed decision-making and underscores the EU’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and the flow of information among its member states.

With extensive experience serving EU institutions and agencies, Acolad reaffirms its position as an industry leader. Leveraging the expertise of its highly skilled linguists and subject matter experts, Acolad continues to uphold its reputation for exceptional quality and reliability. This steadfast dedication positions Acolad as the preferred partner for translation needs within the EU framework.
