MultiLingual Media

MultiLingual Media News, development, fun facts and articles on translation and localization. We cover any topics regarding the critical intersection of language and business.

MultiLingual Media has been serving the language industry for over 20 years with in-depth and current information. After all, this is where international successes — and failures — often begin. The MultiLingual Media corporate office is located in North Idaho in the Selkirk Mountains. We’re in the small town of Sandpoint on Lake Pend Oreille, 11 miles from Schweitzer Mountain Resort. Sandpoint is

one of those places that’s easy to fall in love with and encourages people to move to the Idaho panhandle. That’s why the MultiLingual staff has come from California, Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and the Netherlands to be here. Oh, and we have some native North Idahoans on board as well! Our offices are on the second floor of two turn-of-the-century (last century) buildings with brick walls and lots of skylights. We love being off the beaten path, but we also enjoy visitors, so come and visit us anytime!
