About Us

To thrive on a global level, one needs to become truly local. Hidden nuance, meaning, tradition, and subtext all differ from market to market and culture to culture. Enter BLEND.

We’re passionate about weaving global brands into local markets, enabling true multi-market inclusion, and empowering global growth. Our strength lies in the diversity of our team and the power of our technology. With a multitude of ethnicities and global locations, we’re dedicated to helping global companies thrive locally. And with a state-of-the-art localization tech stack to pair them with, our ability to scale far surpasses the traditional limits of human capability.

BLEND is our new brand and it reflects who we’ve become. But BLEND wasn’t born overnight. It began as One Hour Translation, founded out of Israel in 2008. With over 12 years of translation experience, a robust customer base, an innovative technology-based approach to localization, five offices worldwide, and a global team of multicultural talent – the shift to BLEND was a natural evolution for us.

We would be nothing without our global community of BLENDers. Made up of over 25,000 talented translators, editors, voice actors, and linguistic experts of all kinds from every corner of the globe, our community works hard every day of the year to deliver top–quality localization for all your business needs. We work only with the top talent in every language and specialty, and each of our linguists is thoroughly vetted before they begin working with us. We consistently monitor our community’s performance to ensure the best results for our clients and serve as the middleman to pair you with the best-suited linguist for every project based on the required skill and expertise.
