Who we are

Amanda Galsworthy set up Alto International in 1997 when she was the official interpreter for the French President Jacques Chirac. She sought to create a one-stop-shop for the full spectrum of services required to effectively communicate in a foreign language, provide bespoke support and guarantee 24/7 availability.

Our clients include CAC 40 companies, French institutions, international organisations, communication agencies and media outlets. Day in, day out, we listen carefully to their needs so we may provide bespoke advice and support, enabling them to transcend language barriers and communicate clearly with their entire target audience, enhance their reputation and boost performance beyond national borders, while preserving the most absolute confidentiality.

Alto International joined Pelham Media (Groupe Les Échos-Le Parisien) in 2017 to bolster the group’s expertise in editorial and digital communication across all languages.

CSR
excellence

CSR has been at the forefront of what we do and how we do it for 29 years. Since the very beginning, Alto International has positioned itself as a champion for accessibility among its clients, even before CSR became a strategic consideration for them.

This wholehearted commitment has been recognised by EcoVadis, which has awarded Alto International a gold medal each year since 2022. Over the years, we have consistently improved our score, reflecting the constant progress we seek to achieve in our social, ethical and environmental performance.
