Welcome to Language Services

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.
