THE SUCCESS STORY OF MITRA TRANSLATIONS

Abstract

Mitra Translations was found back in 1989 as a small local translations business in Shumen, Bulgaria. The founder, Teodora Todorova, was then a teacher in Bulgarian language and literature and Russian as well. Her strong ambition about literature and languages motivated for establishing a business to serve people in their efforts to communicate and exchange knowledge in different languages. That time was historical for Eastern European countries and started to blow the so called “wind of change”. That decade resulted in a huge migration, respectively it lead to the need of translation services. That was the first wave to the successful steps to go ahead. We remember the times of the hegemony of the typewriter and the revolution that came with computer popularization. Now, we are contemporaries of the software innovations, machine translation and the AI era, and we are eager to find out about what else the future has to offer.
