What Dynamic Language does

Dynamic Language is a Seattle-based, founder-owned language services provider founded in 1985 that delivers translation, interpreting, transcreation, transcription, media localization, and accessibility (508) remediation services to organizations in regulated industries. The company operates an ISO-certified quality management system spanning ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 17100 (translation services), ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 13485 (medical devices), and ISO 18587 (machine translation post-editing), and holds NMSDC Minority Business Enterprise certification alongside Microsoft SSPA secure-supplier status. Its technology stack combines human linguists, translation memory systems, machine translation post-editing workflows, AI-powered interpreting, and integrations with CAT tools, TMS, CMS, DAM, and eLearning authoring platforms (Storyline, Lectora, Articulate, Captivate, Moodle) supporting 200+ languages. Distributed delivery teams in the U.S., Ukraine, Argentina, and the Philippines provide around-the-clock service to a named enterprise and government client base that includes Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, AWS, Kaiser Permanente, Iron Mountain, NYU, and the University of Washington, plus long-tenure Washington State (DES #03824) and Oregon government contracts held continuously since 2004.

The company monetizes entirely through professional services billed per project, per word, per session/hour, or through multi-year enterprise and government contracts with negotiated volume-based pricing; rates are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused: direct enterprise field sales for major accounts, inside sales and quote-request handling for mid-market buyers, and government contract vehicles for public-sector procurement. The company pursues a vertical segmentation strategy anchored on Healthcare, Life Sciences, Government, Technology, and Education & eLearning as primary segments, with Legal, Aviation & Aerospace, Finance, Manufacturing, Oil/Gas/Energy, Tourism & Hospitality, and Retail as secondary verticals. Marketing relies on SEO, content marketing, case studies, industry-association participation (ALC, ATA, RID, NOTIS, GALA, BBB), social channels, and analyst recognition (Slator Index 2026 Boutique Badge). Operations remain under the original Antezana family ownership with no external funding or parent entity, and the company is led by CEO Rick Antezana with Maria Antezana as Founder and Josh Kroman as Director of Translation and Localization/IT Manager.
