Medical Translation

Medicine is an industry full of innovation and change, where the constantly improving technology means that new procedures are constantly being invented, and new products and terms are generated almost daily. In the medical field, translation of documents, instructions and information is necessary for comprehensive healthcare services to be provided to any patient who needs them. Medical translation services also allow different medicines or medical products to be sold or provided in different countries and communities.

Going global is essential for success in any kind of medical profession, whether you are providing a service or selling a product, but to go global, you must first use a translator to convert your product or document into the language of the new country. Any error in this translation can carry a high risk to the health of a patient, the ability of the business to reach a global market, or to the reputation of the healthcare provider.

Medical translators can work with any kind of medical document, including but not limited to: journal articles, research articles, study or usage protocols, patient histories, product information booklets, clinical trials and regulatory documentation. A medical translator must be continually trained in the changes and fluctuations in the field of medicine, as well as being completely proficient in two or more languages. The medical industry in every country uses thousands upon thousands of specific terms that are usually not interchangeable between languages, so research and glossaries must be used to ensure that the translation is accurate. Ekitai uses an interconnected pool of professionals across the globe, making research and communication about medical translation terms easy and efficient.

Medical translation, without a doubt, requires the accuracy to be one hundred percent. Even the slightest error in this kind of documentation can be crucial, and there must be no degree of guessing or improvising. In addition to these qualifications, medical translators must also be knowledgeable about local medical laws of the target country, as different countries will have different rules and regulations about sensitive medical data and medical procedures.
