Medical translation services
Specialist translators with expertise in clinical, pharmaceutical and healthcare documentation. Rigorous terminology and quality processes for the documents that matter most.
What is medical translation?
Medical translation is the rendering of healthcare and life sciences documentation (clinical trial materials, drug labeling, patient information leaflets, regulatory submissions, medical device manuals) from one language into another, while preserving the scientific precision and regulatory compliance requirements of the source.
Unlike general translation, medical documents must serve two distinct audiences with competing demands: clinical professionals require precise scientific terminology, while patients require plain, accessible language. Both versions must also comply with regulatory frameworks (FDA labeling rules, EMA Quality Review of Documents templates, CE marking requirements) that specify not only content but controlled vocabulary and format.
Medical translation requires translators who combine language skills with working knowledge of the relevant clinical or pharmaceutical domain. Familiarity with controlled terminology systems (MedDRA, ICD codes, anatomical nomenclature) and awareness of the regulatory standards governing the target market are as essential as linguistic accuracy.
At Scribivia, every medical document is assigned to translators with a background in the relevant clinical, pharmaceutical, or life sciences field.
When accuracy affects patient outcomes
Patient safety failure
A mistranslated dosage instruction, contraindication, or frequency term in patient-facing materials can lead to medication errors with serious and irreversible consequences for the people who rely on them.
Regulatory rejection
Terminology inconsistencies between language versions are a documented cause of extended review timelines, requests for additional information, and outright rejection by FDA or EMA reviewers.
Clinical trial integrity
Errors in informed consent forms or trial protocols can compromise patient understanding, invalidate consent, and trigger clinical holds or suspension by the regulatory authority overseeing the study.
