Language Services

SAIC is one of the largest providers of language services to the intelligence, defense and law enforcement communities. With a portfolio of more than 70 languages, our linguists provide translation, interpretation and analysis services to U.S. government decision-makers at home and abroad.


SAIC's linguists are almost exclusively native speakers who hold close ties to the region, and understand the people, the culture and the societal structures that influence events around the globe. Many of our personnel hold advanced degrees, possess security clearances, can deploy overseas at a moment's notice and are accustomed to working in culturally diverse regions overseas. Their skill sets range from direct translation of electronic and print media to consecutive as well as simultaneous translation and analysis.

Wide-Ranging Expertise

From the courtroom to the combat theater, our language service professionals work in concert with analysts and decision-makers, and are often embedded in a forward-deployed environment such as Afghanistan or Iraq. As native speakers, they can rapidly sift through reams of data, both electronic and print, to identify and extract potentially dangerous and time-sensitive information before it can be transformed into another terrifying news headline.
