“Precision is not merely a technical standard. It is a diplomatic imperative.”
Diplomatic International was established in 2003 by Dr. Rawan Manna to provide interpretation and translation worthy of the word "diplomatic." Recognizing that global institutions rely on nuance and precision, she built a practice dedicated to absolute fidelity.
Rooted in deep expertise with the Arabic-English pairing, the firm rapidly expanded into a multilingual global language service. Today, whether delivering remote simultaneous interpretation for a UN session or translating a pivotal treaty, Diplomatic International serves the organizations that shape the world. RMLingo, its subsidiary, serves institutions across the Middle East and North Africa.
Precision
Every rendering is measured against the original utterance. A misplaced register can alter a negotiation; a softened verb can redraw a boundary. We treat exactness as a diplomatic instrument, not a stylistic preference.
Confidentiality
Our linguists operate under the same discretion expected of the principals they serve. Protocols, clearances, and chain-of-custody are not add-ons — they are the conditions under which we work.
Cultural Fluency
Language is the surface of culture. We render not only what is said but what is meant, carrying idiom, honorific, and historical weight across the distance between one worldview and another.
