A certified court interpreter herself, Tessa Donato launched LinguaOne in Mankato, Minnesota in 2002, never dreaming that the company would grow to be the force it is today.

Tessa has a natural love for learning languages and meeting people from all over the world. Often, local businesses would ask her if she knew any good interpreters for various languages. 

This is probably because Mankato is a highly diverse rural area. Over 52 languages are spoken here, despite a small population of just 40,000 people. This area is truly a melting pot, and we’re proud to offer services which help bring this diverse and vibrant population closer together.

We’ve never forgotten our roots. Every day, we help locals get jobs, access county benefits, go to the doctor or connect and communicate with the school district. Yet as we’ve grown, we’ve also begun helping multi-national corporations expand and grow all over the world.
