DerbyTranslations was founded in Lisbon in 2017 by a team of linguists who believed Portugal deserved a translation studio as sophisticated as the ones in London, Paris, and Berlin.
Portugal is a country that trades with the world. Portuguese companies export to the EU, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, China, and the US. International companies establish European HQs in Lisbon. All of them need translation.
Our team: seven translators (four sworn, certified by the Ministerio da Justica), one technical specialist, one project manager, and a network of 30+ vetted freelance linguists covering 40+ languages.
560+ projects delivered. 40+ languages. 4,200+ sworn pages. Zero rejections from Portuguese authorities.
Native only.
Every translation is performed by a native speaker of the target language. No exceptions. No machine translation without human review.
Sworn and certified.
Four sworn translators certified by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice (DGPJ). Accepted by SEF, IRN, and all EU institutions.
Lusophone expertise.
We understand European Portuguese vs Brazilian Portuguese — vocabulary, grammar, cultural references, and legal systems.
