Written communication carries the same stakes as spoken. A mistranslated clause or a mishandled regulatory term can't be walked back once it's filed, published, or shipped.
Language Connections takes the risk and complexity out of multilingual documentation, software, and content. We combine 30 years of subject-matter linguistic expertise with intelligently deployed AI technology, so your team gets precision, speed, and one less thing to worry about.
Our translation services meet the linguistic needs of businesses, bringing their message across language barriers without losing its meaning, tone, context or legal standing. Where interpreting handles real-time spoken or signed communication, and localization adapts the cultural and functional elements of a language, translation is the precise conversion of the written word — the foundation both other disciplines build on.
We work with multinational corporations expanding into new markets, legal teams managing cross-border contracts, healthcare and life sciences organizations under regulatory scrutiny, and public agencies with legal obligations to their communities. What connects these clients isn't the industry — it's the cost of getting a document wrong. That's the standard we design every engagement around.
Certified, defensible translation for contracts, manuals, regulatory filings, and reports built for businesses that can't afford an inaccurate rendering reaching a regulator, a court, a client, or an audience. Every document is handled by a dedicated translator, editor, and project manager, so 100% accuracy is built into the deliverable itself, not something you have to verify after the fact.
Full translation and cultural adaptation of your website, application, or software interface for international markets, handled by linguists who work directly with your UI constraints rather than translating text in isolation. That means accounting for text expansion (German and French routinely run 20 to 30% longer than English), right-to-left scripts, and character limits from the first draft, so nothing breaks or gets cut off once it's implemented.
Formatting and layout for marketing teams and businesses that need publishable multilingual documents. Our in-house DTP team re-aligns text within your original design files, so the finished piece reads as though it were designed in that language.
Built for content creators and corporate trainers aiming for a global audience. With access to our network of vetted, multi-voice talent, we provide high-quality voiceovers and subtitling that retain the impact of your media.
Tailored for medical and legal professionals who require precise text transcripts of their audio. We convert recordings into highly structured, easy-to-read translated and untranslated documents, depending on what your workflow needs. Our transcribers are trained specifically for regional accents and industry-specific terminology, the exact cases where AI transcription tools most often fail.
"Language Connections has been a great help supporting our Japanese colleagues doing work for the MBTA. They have responded with minimal notice and provided seamless translation services for our engineers during a safety training classes. Which is a critical activity for the “T” and allows our associates to be in areas that would not otherwise be accessible."
- Charles Cook, Sr. Program Manager, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc.

Government agencies rely on professional translation to meet legal mandates and effectively serve limited English proficient (LEP) communities. We translate critical public documentation, including public notices, emergency communications, legal disclosures, official forms, and multilingual outreach campaigns to ensure equitable access to public resources. To ensure full legal compliance, all our public sector workflows strictly adhere to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which mandates that federally funded agencies provide meaningful access to services for LEP individuals. We regularly translate materials such as press releases and public health and safety information for several Massachusetts State Agencies. Whether at the federal, state, or local level, we help government agencies stay legally compliant and reliably connected to the communities they serve.

1. Project Analysis
Your dedicated project manager assesses and catalogs all client source files while an assigned team of localization managers performs a technical analysis. This step produces a detailed project scope, a prepared Translation Memory (TM), an approved glossary, and a finalized budget and timeline. By thoroughly analyzing the project upfront, teams lock in expectations and any resources needed to complete the project.
2. Production
Once the project is scoped, professional translators, editors, and proofreaders take over the next phase. The translator adapts the text within a Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool, the editor refines it for accuracy and tone, and a proofreader conducts a final quality check, resulting in a fully translated, edited, and proofread set of bilingual files. Dividing these responsibilities among distinct linguistic experts prevents linguistic inaccuracies and poor brand messaging to ensure regional nuances or overall text quality are not compromised.
3. Post-Production
During post-production, the files undergo a final review by our project manager to ensure that formatting and language are correct. The files are organized into the final product and sent off for client review. The project manager then updates resources to ensure that everything is in order.
4. Client Review & TM Update
The client checks the translated files to ensure the tone and style match their local brand guidelines and provide feedback. The project manager and linguists then review and apply changes accordingly. Once the file is complete, the changes are saved to the translation database to help maintain consistency and reduce repetitive content for future projects.
By using leading computer-assisted translation (CAT) and translation memory (TM) tools, we’re able to cut per-word costs by 20-40% and shorten timelines while improving translation consistency. Specialized software like Trados Studio, SDLX, MemoQ and Wordfast eliminates repeat content projects by allowing the integration of approved terminology across multiple documents.
We offer our clients a web-based project management system, XTRF™, that makes working with Language Connections simple and efficient. Thanks to its intuitive, user-friendly interface, learning the system doesn’t take long. Clients can securely log into the system, submit translation requests and files online, and track the status of their ongoing projects. Project managers can simultaneously handle several complex multilingual projects, while adhering to stringent quality assurance protocols.
Language Connections leverages machine translation (MT) pre-translation through an AI-powered platform. We select the most effective MT engine for your specific language pair, industry, and content type using expert linguists so we can spend less time fixing errors without sacrificing quality, combining the speed of AI with professional human judgment.
For internal communications or projects that prioritize a quick turnaround and cost efficiency, machine translation is applied. Content production is then followed by automated quality checks that flag errors and inconsistencies; no full human post-editing is included.
Every linguist at Language Connections goes through a meticulous vetting process to verify that they meet all the following criteria:
Language Connections provides professional translation and localization services for technical, medical, legal and business materials in more than 100 world languages, including all major languages of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas and Oceania.

Translation deals with the written word. It involves converting written documents, websites, or software from one language to another while preserving tone and context.
Interpretation deals with the spoken or signed word. Interpreters convert oral communication in real-time, either consecutively (after the speaker pauses) or simultaneously (as the speaker is talking), such as at conferences or legal depositions.
A certified translation includes a signed and stamped statement from the translation provider verifying that the translation is an accurate, complete, and faithful reproduction of the original document.
It is typically required for official, legal, and regulatory purposes, including:
Translation pricing is generally calculated on a per-word basis, which varies depending on the language pair, the complexity of the subject matter, and the required turnaround time. Other factors influencing cost include desktop publishing (DTP) needs and whether you have an existing Translation Memory (TM).
Timeline depends entirely on project volume and complexity. On average, a professional translator can accurately translate and review about 2,000 to 2,500 words per day.
For urgent projects, we can deploy multiple translators working concurrently alongside a dedicated editor to ensure consistency while meeting tight deadlines.
We create customized solutions based on your content, industry, goals, timeline, and quality requirements. Our professional linguists provide the human expertise needed for accurate, culturally appropriate translations, while we intelligently leverage AI and machine translation technologies when they are the right fit for a project. This approach improves efficiency and reduces costs for the client while maintaining the quality, consistency, and oversight your content requires.
A Translation Memory is a secure database that stores your previously translated sentences, phrases, and segments.
As we work on your projects, the TM automatically recognizes repeated text. You are only charged a fraction of the full word rate for these “matches,” which significantly lowers your costs over time, accelerates turnaround times, and ensures brand consistency across all assets.
All our translators and project managers operate under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Furthermore, your documents are processed using secure, encrypted file-transfer protocols and private translation management environments.
ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). Our adherence to these standards means we follow strictly audited, repeatable processes for vendor qualification, project management, and error prevention so you receive a consistently high level of service and accuracy on every project.
Yes. Accurate translation requires deep domain knowledge. We match your projects with linguists who have verified expertise and specific degrees or background experience in your field—whether that is medical/pharmaceutical, legal, corporate finance, manufacturing, or software engineering.
We accept virtually all file formats, including:
You do not need to convert your files to plain text before sending them to us.
Yes. Languages expand and contract; for example, a translated text in French or German can take up to 30% more space than the English original. Our in-house DTP team re-aligns the translated text within your original design files (like InDesign or Illustrator) to ensure the final layout looks flawless and professional.
Translation is the literal process of converting text from one language to another.
Localization goes a step further by adapting the content to fit the cultural, functional, and legal nuances of a specific target market. This includes adapting currencies, date formats, local idioms, imagery, and color choices so the product feels native to the local user.
We employ a multi-tiered quality assurance process modeled after international standards:
Yes. Our translation processes are designed to comply with the regulatory frameworks of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and legal court systems globally. We provide the necessary certifications of accuracy required for regulatory submissions and legal compliance.
