Sajan, a Wisconsin-based software company has established a new subsidiary which will be headquartered in Dublin.
The firm, which develops on-demand translation technology, said the new entity, which is called Sajan Software Limited, will house and support cloud-based translation technologies.
About 35 jobs are to be created mainly in R&D and sales, the firm said.
It added that after reviewing a number of possible locations it selected Dublin as its new headquarters because of Ireland's reputation as "a business-friendly country" and it closeness to European customers.
"The launch of Sajan Software represents Sajan's longstanding commitment to the future of cloud-based translation technology," said Vern Hanzlik, president of the newly established subsidiary.
Today's announcement has been welcomed by IDA Ireland.
"The establishment by Sajan of a headquarter operation of this nature demonstrates the strength of Ireland’s reputation as a location for software investments, linguistics and translation," said IDA chief executive Barry O'Leary."
"Sajan Software Ltd is to play a strategic role in Sajan’s overall operation and Ireland will be a vital element in this strategic role," he added.
Sajan's expansion into Europe builds on its recent move into India. In December 2008, the company opened an office dedicated to software research, development, quality assurance and operations in New Delhi.
The company, which was established in 1997, currently employs about 90 people at its global headquarters in River Falls, Wisconsin.
