Verlingua was founded by Christophe Vercruysse, lecturer at the Université de Mons and a sworn translator at the Court of First Instance in Kortrijk.

Christophe obtained his Master's degree with distinction in Translation Studies in 2008. That same year he began working as a lecturer at the University College Ghent, pursued a teacher training course at Ghent University and Verlingua saw its first light of day.

Verlingua has since evolved into a fully-fledged translation firm that provides far more than simple translation services.
