Testimonial

"We recently contracted for a critical task with a Russian company after several months of extended (and tense) negotiations. I have absolutely no doubt that we would not have been able to finish in time without RIC International's involvement.

Your linguist has been our interpreter, translator and document clearinghouse, as well as off-hours, back-channel negotiator with the Russians. Her contribution to this negotiation, as well as our other ongoing work has been crucial!"

Technical Translation Services & Globalization Solutions

RIC Solves Your Technical Translation & Globalization Needs!

RIC International is a leading provider of technical, scientific, and medical translation, localization, and interpreting services in the United States.

Although the three terms Localization, Interpreting, and Translation are sometimes lumped together under the rubric "translation services," they are, in fact, closely related but different forms of rendering content from one language to another:

Translation

is rendering a written document, such as an installation manual or a pharmaceutical patent, from one language to another;

Localization

is adaptation of software or websites to specific languages, cultures, and locales.

Interpreting

is an oral form of translation, enabling real-time communication at conferences, over the phone, etc.

Translation Services

Translation of technical, scientific, and medical documents is the core of our business. Our Medical Translation Department translates documents such as clinical trial data, medical devices documentation, and pharmaceutical patents. Our Technical Translation Department provides our clients in the Engineering, Chemicals, Semiconductor, Aerospace, and other technology fields with translation of engineering specifications, installation and service manuals, MSDS data sheets, AutoCAD drawings, etc.

More detailed information is available in the Translation Services section of this site.

Localization Services

RIC International helps clients localize their software, websites, and web applications. Our teams of technical translators, multilingual graphic artists, and localization engineers work together to deliver effective localization solutions that are culturally appropriate and easily accessible to the target locale.
