About Language Solutions Aotearoa
Language Solutions Aotearoa is a New Zealand-owned provider of professional interpreting and translation services, supporting healthcare, legal, business and community organisations nationwide.
We work with more than 130 organisations across New Zealand, connecting them with skilled language professionals across 70+ languages.
Our story
Built on fairness. Driven by quality.
Language Solutions Aotearoa was founded with a clear idea: language services should work well for the people who rely on them and the professionals who deliver them.
That means high standards for our clients, skilled interpreters at the centre of our service, and fair, equitable conditions for the people doing the work.
That principle remains at the heart of Language Solutions Aotearoa today: providing a high-quality service for our clients while creating fair, professional conditions for the interpreters who make that service possible.
Founded by Ella Addenbrooke, Language Solutions Aotearoa remains proudly New Zealand-owned, providing professional language services to organisations and communities nationwide.

Supporting our core team is a nationwide network of trained, experienced and carefully selected interpreters and translators, covering 70+ languages and matched to each assignment based on language, location and relevant experience.
The simple principle
The quality of communication depends on the quality of the interpreter.
Our business is built on this principle. We prioritise skilled professionals who understand the importance of accuracy, confidentiality and cultural context, particularly in healthcare, legal and other specialised settings, where getting communication right matters.
Our ethic
Fair and equitable interpreter conditions.
We believe high professional standards go hand in hand with valuing the people who deliver the service.
Fair pay, respectful scheduling and professional working conditions help us attract and retain skilled, experienced interpreters, creating a stronger network and a better, more reliable service for our clients.
Our standards
Qualified and accountable.
Professional interpreters
Our interpreters are carefully selected based on their qualifications, training, professional experience and relevant sector expertise. Many hold NAATI certification, while others bring extensive professional interpreting experience. Our NZSL interpreters hold recognised NZSL qualifications.
Precision, confidentiality and context
Professional interpreting requires more than linguistic fluency. We prioritise interpreters who understand the importance of accuracy, confidentiality and cultural context, particularly in healthcare, legal and other specialised settings.
Quality as we grow
As our network and client base continue to grow, we remain focused on maintaining consistent professional standards across every booking and every language we provide.
By the numbers
Professional language services, nationwide.

In their words
What clients say about working with us.
I have been a part of Sports Doctors for over three years and we have never worked with such an efficient and wonderful Team! Their will to go above and beyond to help when they can has been taken into great appreciation! So thank you Ella and the team at Language Solutions for making our lives easier too! Would recommend highly.
Our Orthopaedic Specialist used Ella from Language Solutions Aotearoa, and she has provided interpreting services for my parent's medical appointments numerous times. She is the most professional and reliable interpreter I have come across.
Language Solutions provide an amazing service. The process to book an interpreter is easy and we have been very impressed with the efficiency of responses and meeting some of the amazing interpreters. Thanks.
