Translation for Life Sciences

Medical translation entails the translation of a range of medical-related texts, including technical, regulatory, clinical, and marketing documentation in the medical field. Medical translation is necessary to ensure that clinicians and patients can provide and intake relevant medical information, understand how to use medical devices, and understand how to use pharmaceutical drugs.

Why Is Medical Document Translation Necessary?

Though many medical translations stem from marketing efforts to target diverse populations or a genuine intent to ensure patients understand all information, often there are legal reasons for medical translations.

Several EU directives concerning both medicines and medical devices, including in vitro diagnostic tests and implantable medical devices, legally mandate that certain information must be available to users. This information must be translated into the official languages of the countries where the product is sold. If the information isn’t translated, the product can’t be legally sold.

Challenges of Life Sciences Translation Service

Medical translation is a highly specialized field of translation due to the highly technical and sensitive nature of documents. Medical translation presents several unique challenges, meaning that translation expertise alone is often not enough to deliver an accurate translation. Medical documents frequently make use of specialized terminology and newly developed concepts that may not even exist in the target language. As the medical field is inherently broad, medical translators need expertise and experience in the sub-discipline or knowledge area to which a document pertains.

Translation Accuracy

Translators also must be able to tailor text to the audience, which requires a nuanced understanding of cultural norms and language use. While a clinical trial protocol should include precise scientific terms, an informed consent form (ICF) should include everyday terms and language that the subject will understand. Consistency is also key; if a scientific term is being used for a medical condition, as opposed to a colloquial one, translators must maintain this use of terminology throughout the document. Moreover, as with any translation, medical translation must be culturally sensitive, adapted to reflect cultural values.

Types of Medical Translation

Different companies and organizations rely on high-quality translations when expanding into new markets or serving diverse consumer or patient groups, including pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, medical device companies, research universities, and hospitals. Examples of documents that require specialized medical translation include:

Trials & Testing

  • Clinical Trials
  • Medical Research

 

Forms & Reports

  • Case Report Forms
  • Informed Consent Forms
  • Toxicology Reports

Medical Translators: No Room for Error

Got a medical translation project? The bottom line is there is no room for error in medical translation. A failure to use proper medical terminology in surgical instructions or an inability to render pharmaceutical dosage instructions in clear and concise language might be a life-threatening mistake. Because of the life or death nature of many of these documents, medical translation requires a highly specific skillset. A high-quality medical translation requires linguistic mastery with medical expertise to ensure that medical terms are translated and used appropriately and that highly complex medical ideas are rendered logically and clearly.

Global Translation for Life Sciences

Accurate translation in Life Sciences is a matter of severe importance. Since the field of medicine involves the health and safety of hundreds of thousands of people, it is vital to use a translation service experienced and knowledgeable in documents and terminology typical of the life sciences industry. Mistakes in this translation can prove costly to both your patients and your company, which is why you need a company that specializes in the areas of expertise related to Life Sciences.

In the translation industry, companies in the life science category are a huge provider of business. In fact, they tend to spend up to $200,000 on translation annually since it is such an important part of their business (Common Sense Advisory). Companies in the life science industry have very high standards because they must communicate complex concepts with absolute accuracy and precision. Sometimes, there is no single word that exists in the target language for a specific machine or procedure.

Additionally, life science companies that seek out language service providers usually require that the provider is familiar with the Medical Devices Directive. Without that familiarity, it’s too easy to confuse important medical terms that could mean the difference between life and death when applied to a surgical or technical situation. Life science translations are not easy, which is why they require a translation service that is knowledgeable and reliable. Companies that may use life science translations are:

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
• Medical Device Manufacturers
• Biotechnology Firms

Consistent Medical Terminology

Terminology management is vital in life sciences translations, and it is still an emerging field. Not every translation service is familiar with terminology management, which is what makes it a criterion for many companies serious about their life science translation. When a translation or language service provider follows the guidelines set forth by the standards of terminology management, they guarantee that their linguists are familiar with the medical terminology included in the original version. When a medical text is being translated to a local language, there will be instances in which the medical term does not exist.

Whether the tool is new or the condition is simply too complex to fit into a single word in the target language, it is the linguist’s job to translate it so that it still makes sense as a sentence. To properly create a new definition of the word, the linguist must have knowledge of medical terminology in both languages in addition to his knowledge of the languages’ structures.

Standards for Medical Translations

Life sciences translation service requires up-to-date knowledge of stringent regulatory laws in a variety of countries and regions, including the U.S., the European Union, and Japan. These standards pertain not only to life sciences translation service’s process and procedures, but also to the manufacture and sale of medical products and pharmaceuticals. Examples of these regulatory standards of critical relevance to medical translations include:

  • ISO 13485: ISO 13485 outlines requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
  • EN 15038: EN 15038 is the European standard for life sciences translation service, designed to ensure a consistent quality of service. The standard includes requirements for compliance with certain common procedures and mandates the monitoring of these processes and procedures especially designed for the execution of translation.
  • ASTM F2575-06: ASTM F2575-06 provides a standardized framework for a clearer understanding between clients and medical translations providers to ensure high-quality translations that meet client expectations.
