About Open Lyra
Hi! We are Open Lyra.
Empowering your success through communication in any language.
Our Story
New Name. Decades of Expertise. A Fresh Approach to Localization.
Open Lyra is a new company. But we’re not new to the world of translation. Founded by a team with nearly 30 years of experience in the industry, we’ve seen how language services have evolved, and we’ve helped shape that evolution.
From Legacy to Leap: Our Background
In the early days, translation meant long lead times, manual file handling, and disconnected teams. We worked through it all — from floppy disks and faxed edits to translation memories and cloud-based systems. We’ve lived through every milestone of the industry: the rise of CAT tools, the power of automation, the promise (and limits) of machine translation.
We’ve led teams, served global clients, built systems, and improved processes. And after three decades of shaping the industry from the inside, we founded Open Lyra to do things differently.
Why Open Lyra?
We built Open Lyra to offer something clean, lean, and modern — without the outdated systems, rigid processes, or institutional baggage of older providers. Here, there’s no legacy weight. Just a sharp focus on what works today — and tomorrow.
We combine the wisdom of experience with the agility of a startup. Every tool we use, every process we design, and every team member we choose is aligned with one goal: to deliver the best language management experience possible.
Our Promise
At Open Lyra, we offer the quality of a seasoned partner with the freshness of a forward-looking team. Whether you’re scaling globally, entering new markets, or just need to speak to your customers in their language, we’re here to make it effortless, strategic, and smart.
