DigitalTolk Acquires Proverb and Linguarum, Expanding Its Footprint in Germany’s Public and Corporate Translation Market

Stockholm / Stuttgart / Munich, November 11, 2026

DigitalTolk, the Stockholm-based language technology company, has acquired two German language service providers: Proverb oHG in Stuttgart and Linguarum in Munich. Both acquisitions were funded from DigitalTolk’s own resources. Financial terms were not disclosed.

With these deals, DigitalTolk has completed five acquisitions in Europe since July 2025, following 24translate (Germany/Switzerland), Interlingua (Liechtenstein) and Hieronymus (Switzerland).

Founded in 1989, Proverb is a Stuttgart-based translation provider with a strong focus on the public sector. The company has an experienced bid team with a long track record in German public procurement, giving DigitalTolk direct access to one of Europe’s largest public markets for language services.

Linguarum, based in Munich, provides certified, specialist and post-edited machine translation to companies and institutions across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As a tuck-in acquisition, Linguarum is integrated into 24translate, strengthening its corporate translation business across the DACH region.

With the two acquisitions, the DigitalTolk group now combines AI-powered interpretation and translation across 210+ languages with secure translation for regulated industries and corporate clients through 24translate and Linguarum. Hieronymus provides certified legal translation reviewed by Swiss-licensed lawyer-linguists, and Interlingua offers translation, interpretation and conference services in Liechtenstein. Proverb adds translation for the German public sector and public procurement. All client data is processed exclusively in Switzerland and the EU.

“Germany is the largest language services market in Europe, and the public sector is where DigitalTolk was built. Proverb gives us an experienced bid team and a strong position in German public procurement, and Linguarum strengthens our corporate business across DACH. Together with our AI platform, we can offer public and regulated-industry clients something local providers cannot,” says Virpal Singh, CEO of DigitalTolk.

“We are not buying revenue for its own sake. We look for well-run companies with loyal clients and add our technology, services and commercial strength. Our European presence is already paying off. We recently signed a three-year contract worth around SEK 70 million with one of Europe’s largest logistics companies, our largest contract outside Sweden,” says Leyla Sarac, Deputy CEO and Co-Founder of DigitalTolk.

The European language services market remains highly fragmented. DigitalTolk plans to keep growing through a combination of organic growth among corporate and public-sector clients in DACH and the UK, and further acquisitions. The company remains open to external capital as a way to accelerate the pace.
