We offer both technical and business translations done by industry specialists. All of our translators have advanced technical degrees and are fluent in both English and the foreign language. Native speakers are used when a translation is being done from English into a foreign language. The translations are done from the foreign language into English and from English into the foreign language. Documents can be seamlessly retrieved and translated by The Research Investment with no additional handling by the client. Custom formatting is provided to closely match the format of the original document. Diagrams, charts and drawings are scanned into the translated document. All translations are edited by our in-house editors for grammar, content, and spelling.

We are happy to sign both confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements.

Our areas of expertise include chemical engineering, chemistry, electronics, fiber optics, telecommunications, patents and legal issues.
