Luxembourg has a significant English-speaking community. Luxembourg City is the EU's primary financial and institutional centre, hosting the CJEU, the Court of Auditors and thousands of international civil servants in a trilingual context (French, German, Luxembourgish). TranslateBE connects you with a certified English interpreter within 24 hours for any legal, medical, administrative or business procedure.
The English-speaking community in Luxembourg
The English-speaking community in Luxembourg is one of the largest among expatriate communities: EU civil servants, international finance professionals, lawyers, NGO staff and nationals from the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.
English is the de facto working language of many international organisations and multinationals. English interpreters bridge the gap between local institutions and English-speaking parties in legal, medical and administrative proceedings.
