Publicly traded language services and technology group offering translation, IP services, and Trados software.
RWS is one of the world's largest publicly traded language services and technology companies, listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market. Formed through decades of strategic acquisitions, most notably the acquisition of SDL in 2020, RWS now operates across three divisions: Language Services, Regulated Industries, and Language Technology (the Trados product family). The company's regulated industries business handles patent translation and filing services for global technology and pharmaceutical companies, a highly specialised domain requiring deep legal and scientific expertise. With approximately 7,500 employees in 80+ offices and revenues exceeding 700 million GBP annually, RWS competes with TransPerfect and Lionbridge for global enterprise localization contracts. The Trados product suite remains the world's most widely used translation technology platform.
