Certified Interpreters. Instant. Secure. Digital.
LingoMatch
An innovative app solution for government agencies and public institutions

The Problem
Legal Obligation
Government agencies are legally required to involve interpreters in many proceedings.
Fragmented Lists
Each federal state and agency maintains its own interpreter lists, with no centralized solution.
Limited Resources
Only about 12,000 certified interpreters for hundreds of languages and dialects across Germany.
High Demand
Over 83.5 million people in Germany, including millions with limited German language skills.
Time Pressure
Government agencies face the daily challenge of finding qualified interpreters at short notice.
