CETRA Celebrates 29th Anniversary
CETRA celebrates its 29th anniversary today, March 12. On this day in 1997, Jiri Stejskal, our President and CEO, incorporated CETRA. Since then, we have remained true to our promise, helping people globally to understand each other and the world around them. We aim to be a trusted Language Service Provider with a focus on quality and delivering an exceptional customer experience.
CETRA Language Solutions was founded in 1997 by Stejskal while finishing his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania and building a business as a freelance translator. When a major Philadelphia law firm contacted him about translating thousands of litigation documents from Czech into English, Jiri recruited all the Czech translators he knew and started a company under the name Central European Translations. CETRA evolved and today provides translation, interpretation, and other language-related services in more than 300 languages.
This year CETRA also announced expansion of its in‑language coding and transcription services combining human experts with advanced technology-assisted workflows. The hybrid solution strengthens CETRA’s commitment to provide insights teams with faster, accurate, and culturally nuanced multilingual data analysis.
In addition, CETRA recently launched its Spread the Word Customer Referral Program. This new program rewards both the existing client and new client with a 10 percent discount. There is no limit to the number of referrals.
