Office of Language Services


Our Mission

Facilitate communication with non-English speaking governments and people by providing high-level interpreting (spoken word) and translating (written word) support to the Executive Office of the President, the Department of State and other federal agencies.

Our Standards

LS carries on a tradition of language support for the conduct of foreign policy that dates back to 1781. Our interpreters and translators are highly skilled, rigorously tested, and work in over 40 foreign languages. We provide the finest ministerial-level language service in the world. In the diplomatic community, LS is the "gold standard" for interpreting and translating.

Welcome to the Language Services Web Site

We’ll be adding features to our site over the coming months, so stay tuned!
