Medical translation

We have both in-house translators and an extensive network of more than 2,000 external professional translators, many of whom have more than 25 years’ experience of providing professional medical translation.

For each project we hand pick a translator who specialises in the subject area in question, and who is experienced in translating the specific type of text, whether it is a patient information leaflet, patient record or a patent. Here you can read more and see some of the types of documents we commonly translate for the medical industry.

When you become one of our clients we put together a regular team of translators, so you are guaranteed the same top quality every time, and the translators become specialists in the very terminology and language you require.

You can put your mind at rest when sending your medical documents and confidential information to us. All our translators have signed non-disclosure agreements and are consequently subject to duty of confidentiality.

We also process all documents in accordance with strict IT security procedures, and our CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tools have also been certified in accordance with the ISO:27001:2013 standard for information security.

If your medical translation contains personal data, which is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), please let us know. We then tackle the entire process in accordance with our strict GDPR procedure, which ensures that no information will be stored in our system after completion of the project.

In medical texts, it is vital to use the correct terminology to prevent any misinterpretations. That is why it is a good idea to devise glossaries, which are then used when translating.

We use the latest cloud-based language tools (CAT tools) to make terminology management simple and efficient.

The more translation we do for your company, the more the translation memory and term base grows, ensuring consistently high quality, faster delivery and lower prices.

Typically, one of our language specialists work closely with one of your specialists to create a list of terms and the correct/preferred translation for them. The language specialist regularly proposes changes and additions to be approved by the specialist at your workplace.

In addition to correct terminology, the wording in medical translations is vital, because a text aimed at medical professionals will be very different from a text aimed at laypersons.

Regardless of whether your company has internal translators and proofreaders or has chosen to outsource some or all translations to a translation agency, it is vital to find a business partner you can trust.

Apart from the fact that the product must be of the highest quality, good service and quick response and delivery are also important criteria. For nearly of 30 years, we have been assisting countless satisfied customers, who value the professional way in which we tackle projects, our swift response and delivery, and our helpful, accommodating staff.
