About TshwaneDJe

TshwaneDJe Human Language Technology is a private company co-founded by David Joffe and Prof. Gilles-Maurice de Schryver (experts in software development and lexicography respectively) in 2002, based on, amongst others, a joint vision of improving the world and bridging cultures through better dictionaries. Originally based in David Joffe's hometown of Pretoria (of which the traditional African name is 'Tshwane') in South Africa, in 2009 the company opened its new head office in Stellenbosch, with the Pretoria office remaining as a branch office. Since its inception, we've steadily expanded to a team that now includes several programmers/experts; we've achieved this growth through a focus on professionalism, world-class quality, and delivering value to customers. Originally dealing primarily with lexicography, the company has been broadening its focus to also cover terminology management software, and software tools for translators.

Our customers include Oxford University Press, Pearson, Longman, Macmillan, the Royal National Academy of Medicine (Spain), Grupo Clarín (Argentina), the Department of Justice (Canada), the Welsh Language Board, the Malaysian Institute of Language and Literature, Van Dale Lexicografie, Le Robert (France), the Royal Spanish Academy, the Institute for Dutch Lexicology (Netherlands), and more.
