About Us

GLS is a well-established translation company with over 25 years of continuous experience in the German ↔ English translation business. Founded in New York City in 1979, GLS is now located in Seattle, Washington and provides translation and interpreting services for clients throughout the United States and Europe. Over the years, we have established expertise in a wide range of subjects, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, law, business and marketing, political science, and medicine.

Because we specialize in only one language pair, we are able to focus on quality and maintaining good, long-term client and freelancer relations. We believe that this sets us apart from our multi-language competitors.

We are particularly known for our commitment to quality and for producing accurate, well-written translations. Our research and in-house quality control are meticulous and comprehensive. We know that every client is different, and we know how to assemble the right team of professionals for each individual project.

In addition to translation, our services include translation project management, technical writing, software localization, translation evaluation and text editing. GLS also provides interpreters for all modes of interpreting and in all subject areas, as well as narrators and bilingual directors for audiovisual productions in both German and English.

We are extremely proud of our expertise and bring our long-proven professional experience to each project we undertake.
