Medical Translations 101

Among the different kinds of translation services available, medical translations are, perhaps, among the least familiar.

It is primarily because this kind of service is highly specialized, and is often requested only by relevant organizations.

 

Today, let’s delve into the clinical world of medical translations and answer some frequently asked questions.

 

What documents fall under medical translations?

 

A lot, actually. These documents include package inserts, product labels, data sheets, medical contracts, training materials and videos, consent forms, manuals, case reports, patient data, research information such as clinical trials, hospital questionnaires, and toxicology reports, among other documents used in the medical industry.

 

Who requests for medical translations?

 

As a specialized service, medical translations are normally requested by pharmaceutical companies, medical supplies and equipment manufacturers, health care specialists, medical organizations, hospitals, laboratories, medical research and interest groups, and biotechnology companies, among other industry groups.

 

Who are qualified to do medical translations?

 

Here at The Spanish Group, we require all our medical translations to have sufficient education, training and experience related to the subject matter that they will translate.

 

Operations Manager Salvador Ordorica explained, “Medical translation is essentially translating medical jargon into something that can be easily understood by a layman reader. To be able to do this, we ensure that our medical translators are industry and language professionals themselves. As in all other translation jobs, accuracy is a non-negotiable aspect of medical translations especially since it involves matters of life and health.”

    Site owner, I may be right in saying your web server stopped functioning yesterday because I located this page through Google and all I saw was a failure page. I would email your hosting provider to ensure that it doesnt happen again as your losing visitors. I was using IE 8 browser if that helps.
