The medical translation sector

The medical and pharmaceutical sectors are rapidly advancing and becoming increasingly global. Drug companies come up against strict regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by the FDA, EMEA and the MHLW in Japan. To operate in these markets, companies must tackle extensive language requirements and quality translation is the only answer in an industry where targeting new markets is vital and communicating effectively in a multicultural environment is absolutely paramount.

Due to the complex nature of some medical translations, we welcome our clients' proprietary glossaries which help us ensure that the key terms are 100% correct and that the language is not only consistent throughout all projects, but also correctly represents the company's values and communication style. We also use the latest memory software which ensures that all the translations are stored on our secure system and we can easily match any new documents with our clients' existing translations. This is an excellent method of decreasing costs and delivery times, as well as allowing us to gain a better understanding of the preferred lexis, structure and style.

Medical information is highly confidential. All of our translators understand this essential condition when it comes to handling your information and each of our translators is bound by NDAs. When dealing with medical and pharmaceutical documents, we hand-pick translators who are guaranteed to meet deadlines and approach your work with the specific experience and understanding required. Each selected translator has proven medical industry experience and specialist knowledge of their chosen field.

With our professional, intelligent approach, World Translations has the medical expertise to handle all your translation requirements, backed up with stringent quality control. We offer an intelligent, experienced and comprehensive range of services for the global market.

Evidently, for readers outside of the clinical, or medical, profession the meaning of the above extract taken from a research document is not easily established. Medical texts employ an abundant usage of abbreviations and acronyms, as in this example, to designate specific concepts in the medical field. An experienced medical translator will familiarise themselves with these abbreviated forms and their relevant meanings in the given context. However, this is not always a straightforward task, as many acronyms may have several possible meanings. A good translator will have the skill to extract the required information from the context to derive logical deductions and provide an accurate translation. In addition, the proficient translator will have built up their own network of resources and will keep up to date with the latest developments in the pharmaceutical world. Only this way can they ensure intelligent, relevant translations that are specifically tailored to meet any given requirements, with timely, consistent and professional delivery.
