Babylon, a veteran in the translation industry, was established 15 years ago when it first launched its dictionary software.

To celebrate the milestone, Babylon's 160 employees enjoyed a pool party at the home of the CEO, Alon Carmeli, with a huge birthday cake and 150 helium balloons bearing the Company's logo.
