Why choose us

Ready for regulators

We hold ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 certification, and a second qualified linguist reviews every medical project before it reaches you. That gives you a documented trail you can put in front of a notified body or regulator with confidence.

Consistent wording, managed for you

Your approved terms and past translations sit in a translation memory and glossary that every linguist works from. We let the technology, including AI where it earns its place, handle recall and speed, while our medical specialists review everything and own the final wording.

Native medical specialists, 99+ languages

Your content goes to medical translators across the EU and US, each working into their own native language. We draw on a network of more than 5,500 linguists, so we can cover the languages your markets need without losing the specialism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your medical translations ISO certified?

Yes. We hold ISO 17100 for translation and ISO 18587 for post-edited machine translation. Every medical project goes through a specialist translator and a separate reviser, and we keep a record of how the work was done that you can show to a notified body or regulator.

Which medical documents can you translate?

We handle instructions for use, package leaflets, clinical trial documents, regulatory submissions, medical device software, and materials for both healthcare professionals and patients. If a document falls under MDR, IVDR, or EMA rules, our linguists know the standard it has to meet.

Can you meet submission deadlines in several languages at once?

Yes. We translate into every official EU language and many more, with a network of over 5,500 linguists to draw on. Your project manager plans the languages and timing around your submission date.

Do you use machine translation on medical content?

Only where it suits the document, and always with a qualified linguist editing the result under ISO 18587. We don't use raw machine output on regulatory submissions, patient leaflets, or consent forms. A human always checks the output against the source.

We've never outsourced medical translation before. What do you actually need from us?

The source files, any glossaries or past translations you already have, a bit of reference material, and one named contact. We set up the termbase, assign a project manager, agree the languages and timeline, and we can start with a small first project so you can see how we work before committing the lot.

How is medical translation priced?

Usually per word of the source text, with the rate depending on the language and how specialised the content is. Anything that repeats, or that's already in your translation memory from past work, costs less or nothing, so your spend falls over time. Extra steps like back-translation are quoted separately, and we agree on the price before we start.
