BLEND Localization

BLEND is a global localization partner that helps international businesses overcome cross-border barriers and increase revenue in new markets.
We offer a full range of services, including translation, voice-overs, content creation, SEO, IVR, and more—all in over 120 languages.
Our AI-powered technologies, enterprise-managed platform, and global community of expert linguists and voice talents deliver high-quality results for even the most complex localization projects.
In addition to our boutique-style managed services, we provide on-demand online translation via BLEND Express and voice services through BLEND Voice.

Founded in 2008, BLEND (formerly known as One Hour Translation), is a privately held company with offices in Tel Aviv, Atlanta, Los Angeles, London, Shanghai, Kyiv, and Bucharest.

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.
