Swiss Heritage & Expertise
TTN (Translation Network) is a Swiss-based translation company with a proud heritage dating back to 1988. Founded and headquartered in Switzerland, TTN has leveraged the country’s multilingual culture and precision to become a trusted global language services provider. In fact, TTN was a pioneer in translation technology – launching one of the world’s first fully automated translation servers in the late 1980s. Over the past decades, we have grown our expertise and innovation, continuously refining our processes and tools. Today, TTN blends long-standing human linguistic expertise with cutting-edge technology, delivering high-quality translations for clients worldwide while upholding the Swiss values of reliability and excellence.
Innovative Technology Platform
Technology and innovation are at the heart of TTN. We developed our own proprietary Translation Management System (TTN TMS), an AI-driven platform that streamlines the entire translation workflow from request to delivery. This platform automates many project management tasks more efficiently than a human alone could, allowing us to handle projects faster and more consistently. For example, clients can simply upload documents and instantly receive a quote with multiple deadline options; once a deadline is chosen, our TTN agent system automatically assigns the job to the best-suited linguists and oversees all production and quality steps. The result is an end-to-end process that can require as few as nine clicks from start to finish, drastically reducing administrative effort and turnaround time.
Our innovative platform incorporates Keybot, TTN’s proprietary translation search engine and AI technology. Keybot is a unique system that converts multilingual web content into translation memory databases. In fact, TTN is the only translation agency in the world to operate its own translation search engine for leveraging existing translations. Keybot scans your company’s websites (and even supplier sites) to build custom bilingual glossaries and translation memories from your already translated content. This means our translators and AI tools can immediately reuse your preferred terminology and phrasing, ensuring unparalleled consistency across all your materials. Unlike generic machine translation services, which use one-size-fits-all models, TTN uses custom AI translation engines tailored to each client’s content and vocabulary. These AI translations are always reviewed by professional human post-editors, combining speed with quality. Our platform also integrates industry-leading tools (such as RWS Trados GroupShare) and an online editing environment, enabling seamless handling of large projects and complex file formats without sacrificing performance. In short, TTN’s technology gives you the best of both worlds – the efficiency of AI-powered automation and the assurance of expert human oversight.
Certified Quality & Security
Quality and security are non-negotiable at TTN. We are fully certified to ISO 17100, ISO 9001, and ISO/IEC 27001, reflecting our commitment to industry-leading standards in translation quality, overall quality management, and information security. ISO 17100 certification means our translation process meets the strict requirements for human resources and review procedures in the translation industry – every project is handled by qualified linguists and includes rigorous revision steps. ISO 9001 certifies that our organization follows robust quality management practices, ensuring consistency and continuous improvement in everything we do. Additionally, our ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates that we uphold the highest standards of data security and confidentiality, protecting your sensitive information at all stages.
We maintain a secure, state-of-the-art infrastructure to safeguard client data and ensure reliability. TTN’s system is hosted in a high-security data centre in Switzerland, with full redundancy and 24/7 availability measures in place. Our architecture features real-time mirroring, multi-layer backups, and proactive monitoring to prevent downtime or data loss. For clients with special requirements, our platform can even be deployed in hybrid or on-premises configurations – for example, in cases where data must remain outside of U.S.-controlled clouds, we offer hosting options entirely within Swiss or client infrastructure. No matter the setup, TTN ensures that your projects are handled in a highly secure environment. All translators and staff adhere to strict confidentiality agreements, and our system includes granular access controls so that your terminology databases and translation memories remain private to your organization. With TTN, you can trust that quality is built into our process and that your data is in safe hands from start to finish.
