About Us
Raland Translation began when our founding company, Premier Technical Services, expanded its technical documentation and training development business by adding translation and interpretation services in the late 1990s. Premier Translation was officially formed in the early 2000s. Several years later, Premier Technical Services joined with Raland Technologies and then Compliance Partners to become Raland Compliance Partners, and we became Raland Translation.
In 2025, Raland Translation was acquired by Akkodis and became part of The Adecco Group. The Adecco Group is the world's leading talent solutions and advisory company and supports over 100,000 companies by enabling more than 3.5 million careers across the full spectrum of industries.
While our name has evolved over the years, our never-ending dedication to delivering exceptional service at a fair price endures.
