Foreign Language Institute

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. Foreign Language Institute is dedicated to providing the highest quality and most reliable document translation services for attorneys, patent agents, and scientific advisors working in the field of Intellectual Property and Patent Law.

The great majority of intellectual property translation services provided by the Foreign Language Institute involves German, Japanese, French, Chinese, Russian and Korean. These six important languages comprise over 90% of the intellectual property, technical and legal translations that we perform.

In linguistics, a corpus (plural corpora) or text corpus is a large and structured set of texts (now usually electronically stored and processed). A corpus may contain texts in single language (monolingual corpus) or text data in multiple languages (multilingual corpus). Multilingual corpora that have been specially formatted for side-by-side comparison are called aligned parallel corpora.

All technical translations are performed by a team of multiple professional linguists -a lead technical translator, an editor, and a proofreader. Our technical translators are required to have at least 5 years experience translating technical documents. Where possible, they are certified by domestic and/or international organizations, hold university degrees in their areas of expertise, and are native speakers of the target language.

The Foreign Language Institute focuses solely on providing document translation services and solutions to the legal profession. We will use your client and matter numbers, your Bates numbers, and your internal document codes. In the critical areas of legal document translation, patent translation, technical translation and litigation support, the Foreign Language Institute is like having your own in-house/on-site translation team. The big difference is that you pay only for the services you require.
