About Us | Dynamic Language

Language services built for regulated industries. Since 1985.

When language works, patients follow their care plans, agencies reach everyone they serve, and products launch on time. Dynamic Language makes that happen for organizations in healthcare, government, life sciences, technology, education, and legal, in more than 200 languages and dialects, from our Seattle headquarters.

Our Story

Rick Antezana, Josh Kroman and Julie Vu of Dynamic Language
Organizations come to Dynamic Language when a translated message has to work the first time: a patient instruction, a benefits notice, a regulatory filing, a product launch.

We have done that work since 1985, under continuous ownership from our founding. The stakes of the work shaped the operation: qualified linguists, evidence-based quality controls, and a verifiable process trail on every project. Our Global Management System is certified to five ISO standards: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 17100 (Translation Services), ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 13485 (Medical Devices Quality Management), and ISO 18587 (Machine Translation Post-Editing).

Accuracy in language is the difference between a message that works and one that potentially causes harm, especially in healthcare, government, and regulated industries. We have built our entire operation around that reality.
