What We Offer
RIC International Technical Translation Services
Technical Translation Services

RIC International provides translation services for technology companies. We specialize in translation of engineering, medical, and other technical documents to and from all major Asian, European, and Middle Eastern languages, including German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Arabic.

The first step in ensuring that technical documents, such as engineering specifications, network installation manuals, or pharmaceutical patents, are translated correctly is assigning the work to translators with the appropriate educational backgrounds and professional experience. Only translators trained in engineering, medicine, or the sciences, can reliably understand the concepts they are translating.

We hold fast to this simple translation principle:

If you do not understand it, you cannot translate it.

For example an installation and operation manual for metropolitan area network (MAN) switches would be translated and edited by language professionals with B.S. or M.S. degrees in electrical engineering plus at least 7 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. Likewise, a clinical study on an anti-viral drug for a pharmaceutical company would be translated and edited by MDs trained in immunology.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Translation

Specialized Biomedical Translation Services

Medical translation requires precision and up-to-date technical knowledge from the translators. It also requires multiple levels of quality control and understanding of stringent regulatory requirements, especially in the US, the European Union, and Japan.

Whether translating patient case report forms for FDA submission, or packaging for in-vitro devices to comply with the EU's IVDD directive, there can be no compromise when boundaries of language and healthcare regulation are crossed.

Pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organizations (CROs), manufacturers of medical and surgical devices, biotech companies, as well as health care managers have come to rely on RIC's unique methodology when they need clear, correct, and consistent translation of the high-risk, high-value information on which the field of international medicine and biotechnology depends.
