Your language partner
Your language partner for translations and language training courses
With more than 250 language combinations (worth many zillion translated words), more than 3000 tailor made language training courses per year and interpreting work at national and international conferences in the most diverse sectors, today ElaN Languages nv has grown into the preferred language partner of many an SME and multinational abroad and at home.
ElaN Languages was established as Wim Vanschooren's hobby, translating “after hours” for a few local SMEs. In September 1990, ElaN Languages legal status of NV was created with the cooperation of Eric and Peter Vaes, both active in company life at the time. From the beginning the objectives were clear:
“Offer companies a complete and high-quality made-to-measure language service with as cornerstones language training courses, translations and interpreting”.
During those first years, the Limburg market was the playing field. Next a steady expansion towards Antwerp, Brabant, Brussels, Limburg and Brabant (in the Netherlands) followed. Later globalisation took hold and countries like Germany, France, United Kingdom, Japan, ... fell for the services of ElaN Languages!
