About us

About us

Verlingua was founded by Christophe Vercruysse, lecturer at the Université de Mons and sworn translator at the Court of First Instance in Kortrijk.

 

Christophe obtained his Master's degree with distinction in Translation Studies in 2008. That same year he began working as a lecturer at the University College Ghent, pursued a teacher training course at Ghent University and Verlingua saw its first light of day.

 

Verlingua has since evolved into a fully-fledged translation firm that provides far more than simple translation services.

Our team

Verlingua comprises an energetic team of highly motivated translators from all over the world. Christophe, Jorijn, Hanaé, Dorothée, Elisa, Ingrid & Vanessa additionally ensure flawless, end-to-end project coordination.
