Language Scientific History

Translation Isn’t Rocket Science—Except When It Is!

Language Scientific, Inc. is a leading US-based technical and medical translation company. Our company was founded in 1999 by a group of international scientists and engineers working together on a nuclear non-proliferation project for the US Department of Energy. Discovering countless pages of inaccurate, unclear and sometimes outright dangerous translations of this highly sensitive technical material, they formed Language Scientific with the mission of setting a new quality control standard for technical translation.

Recognizing that other industries rely on the same degree of scientific expertise and technical precision when conducting their translations, Language Scientific soon expanded to address the greater needs of the engineering, scientific and medical industries.

In September 2011, the company changed its name from RIC International to Language Scientific.
