CETRA Celebrates 28th Anniversary

CETRA celebrated its 28th anniversary this week. On March 12, 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, sign language interpretation, website and software localization, voiceover, and audio-to-text translation for corporate and government clients in more than 300 languages.
CETRA has offices worldwide in Pennsylvania, California, and Ireland. The Slator Language Service Provider Index has ranked CETRA as a top global provider of language services for five consecutive years. This year, CETRA was ranked 99th, up 30 places from last year. CETRA is also proud to be Great Place to Work Certified for the third straight year. This award is based solely on what current employees say about their experience working at CETRA. This year, 95% of employees said CETRA is a great place to work.
