In 1887, Lejzer Zamenhof, under the pseudonym Dr. Esperanto (‘he who hopes’), published the book ‘La internacia lingvo’ (the international language), about an easy-to-learn artificial language that would allow people from different cultures to communicate with each other. The pseudonym of the book’s writer would become the name of the new language: Esperanto.

Esperanto native speakers

Globally, there are about 2 million people who speak Esperanto, roughly the same amount as Slovenian. Except the people who speak Esperanto are spread throughout the world. The most famous are undoubtedly the Hungarian-American businessmen George Soros and Pope John Paul II. There are even people who speak Esperanto as their native language, but they are few in number. These are children who grew up with Esperanto at home because it is the best common language of their parents and they hear it every day.

The way of simplicity

Thanks to its simple and regular grammar and logical word choice, Esperanto is relatively easy to learn. Even so, the language never really broke through, because simple or not, you still need to learn it. However, in recent years, the slumbering Esperanto has been on the rise due to the influence of Duolingo; an app for learning languages. Approximately 1 million people have tried out Esperanto via this app since 2015. Of course, most of them will never go all the way to speaking it fluently, but even so, Esperanto is experiencing some growth in recent years.

Qualified Esperanto translators

The group of people who speak Esperanto is small but passionate. One of the consequences of this is that there are many books and writings in Esperanto. When we were first asked to translate into Esperanto, we looked for qualified Esperanto translators. We meet the highest achievable quality standards for European translation agencies: ISO 9001 and ISO 17100. These standards impose strict requirements on our business operations and the translators we work with, including the Esperanto translators.
