Lextrad was founded by Marina Lanckmans, who holds a degree in Translation from the Institut Supérieur de Traducteurs et Interprètes (I.S.T.I.) in Brussels, her home town. Coming from a Belgian-Catalan family, she has always experienced linguistic diversity.
With over 10 years experience as a freelance translator, in 2007 she decided to set up her own translation company with offices in Tortosa, the capital city of the Baix Ebre region.
