Speaking Safety: How Capsa Ensured Compliant German Documentation

WHY LANGUAGE SCIENTIFIC?

Capsa Healthcare, a healthcare technology firm specializing in pharmacy automation and medical equipment, needed user manuals translated into German for a project with hospital partners. With no in-house translation resources, they turned to Language Scientific for support.

Language Scientific’s medical expertise and human-reviewed approach ensured accurate, compliant translations. The project was delivered on time, with clear communication throughout, and German partners confirmed the materials were error-free.

The Problem

Capsa Healthcare, a healthcare technology firm, needed user manuals translated into German for a project with hospital partners.

German presented unique challenges:

  • Accurate medical terminology was critical for nurses and healthcare staff using the equipment
  • Human-reviewed translations were essential, as machine translation alone was not trusted
  • On-time delivery was required to support the project schedule

Capsa needed a trusted partner who could provide accurate, compliant, and professional translations without delays.

ACTIONS TAKEN

  • Delivered expert German translations of technical user manuals
  • Applied medical and industry knowledge to ensure precise terminology
  • Provided human-reviewed translations instead of machine-only output
  • Maintained clear communication with regular status updates
  • Ensured a smooth, turnkey process from start to finish

Don Johnson said that they could have done a complete machine translation or a human-curated translation, and he doesn’t trust machine translation with no oversight.

– “Everything for the project went smoothly on Language Scientific’s end. I am glad we chose LS for this project.”

— Don Johnson, Capsa Technical Writer.
