What Makes Translating a Medical Document More Difficult Than Translating Any Other Document?
Can you paraphrase the following sentence?
"The test suggests that the additional cannula from the visceral pleura resulted in pulmonary
function improvements in the approximate range of 500% from forced expiratory volumes in one-second (FEV1) measurements."
If you didn't have a background in medicine, you probably couldn't. Well, translation is, fundamentally, paraphrasing.
Would you entrust your FDA documentation or Adverse Events Reports to a translator without an M.D.?
At Language Scientific, we hold to the principle:
If You Don't Understand It, You Cannot Translate It!
That is why Language Scientific requires that all
Medical Translators and Translation Editors
have to have education, training, and work experience in the areas of medicine matching the subject matter they translate.
Our meticulous
Quality Control system is the most thorough in the industry,
with a system of checks and balances in place throughout the entire
process – from the selection of project managers to the final proofreading of the translated document.
Clients Rely on Our Expertise in Medical Translation
Pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organizations (CROs), manufacturers of medical and surgical devices,
biotech companies, and health care managers have come to rely on Language Scientific for translation of
their most sensitive documents. Our unique methodology that clients depend on delivers consistently clear,
accurate translation of high-value information.
We Translate and Localize for:
Regulatory Compliance and Certification of Translation Accuracy
Medical translation requires precision and up-to-date technical knowledge
by every member of your translation team. It also requires multiple levels of
quality control and a full understanding of stringent regulatory laws, especially
the US, the European Union, and Japan.
Whether translating patient case report forms for FDA submission or
packaging for in-vitro devices to comply with the EU's IVDD directive,
there can be no compromise where the spheres of language and healthcare regulation converge.
That is why our translations are translated and
Certified for Translation Accuracy
by Medical Professionals.
Language Scientific's Quality Management systems are ISO 9001:2008 and EN 15038:2006 certified.

Languages We Translate
Language Scientific works in
over 100 global languages.
That is often important when translating clinical trial documentation, due to increasing globalization
of clinical research. Nevertheless, most of our
medical translation
work involves translation between English and the major Asian, European, and Middle Eastern languages,
such as Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
Medical Subjects We Translate
We have vast experience translating medical documents in a wide variety of medical fields.
For example, in the last three years alone we translated medical documents, clinical data,
and medical device software in the fields of:
- Anesthesiology
- Cardiology

- Endocrinology
- Gastroenterology
- Genetics
- Geriatrics
- Hematology
- Immunology
- Infectious Diseases
- Microbiology

Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) questionnaires are a critical tool for gathering valuable insight into symptoms, side effects and safety of investigational drugs,
and are widely used in global clinical trials. But the instruments' validity across international sites requires not just translation and cultural adaptation, but linguistic validation and harmonization across languages
and locales. Language Scientific has provided Linguistic Validation of Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) questionnaires
and other clinical instruments for over 10 years. We have translated questionnaires into over 60 world languages.
