Auerbach International Surpasses 2 Billion Words Translated as It Marks 35 Years in Business

RICHMOND, Calif. - Sept. 23, 2026 - PRLog -- Auerbach International, a translation and interpretation firm founded in 1990, has surpassed 2 billion words translated in its 35th year in business. The firm's clients range from Fortune 100 companies, to nonprofits, government agencies and solopreneurs.

Founder Philip Auerbach launched the company with a single objective: to use language to connect cultures and unlock business opportunities worldwide. He has studied eight languages and lived in or visited more than 55 countries. He built the firm around cultural adaptation rather than word-for-word conversion, a distinction that matters more as machine translation becomes widespread.

Where the work happens

Auerbach International's growth has concentrated in sectors where a mistranslation carries legal, medical, or financial consequences:

• Legal. The firm provides certified translations prepared for use by USCIS, courts, and US Attorneys' Offices. It also handles litigation and deposition documents, contracts, patent and IP filings, and regulatory compliance materials. Court and deposition interpretation serves law firms from solo practices to corporate legal departments.
• Healthcare and life sciences. Hospitals, clinics, and health plans use the firm's onsite, over-the-phone, and video remote medical interpretation. The service supports language-access obligations under Title VI and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act.
• Education. School districts use the firm for IEP meeting interpretation, translation of special education documents, and curriculum and textbook translation.
• Technology and business. Services include website and software localization, technical translation, conference and trade show interpretation, and global marketing consulting. The consulting covers market entry strategy and branding research.

The firm's full services include translation, certified translation, and localization. Interpretation is offered onsite, remote/virtual, simultaneous, consecutive, by phone, and in ASL. It also provides transcription, subtitling, dubbing, voiceovers, desktop publishing, and transcreation.

Human expertise, AI-assisted

The firm's position on AI is direct: technology accelerates, humans perfect. AI-assisted engines and translation memory systems speed delivery. Native-speaking, subject-matter linguists remain responsible for accuracy, cultural fit, and the details software misses.

"Thirty-five years ago the mission was to use language to open doors for businesses and connect people across cultures," said Philip Auerbach, Founder and President. "Two billion

words later, the mission hasn't changed. Only the tools have. What sets us apart is that we never let the tools replace the judgment of a skilled human linguist."

From its San Francisco Bay Area headquarters, the firm has expanded to an East Coast office in Philadelphia and teams in Europe and Latin America. Several client relationships exceed a decade.
