From patient information sheets and medico-marketing materials to clinical service agreements and common technical documents (CTDs), medical document translation services are essential across the life science and healthcare industries. The life science sector is a knowledge-based industry and relies heavily on acronyms and technical terminology in its materials. Thus, for life science companies expanding overseas, accurate medical document translations are crucial to gaining market access and complying with local regulatory requirements.
Whether you are a medical device manufacturer, pharmaceutical retailer, medical distributor, or involved in biomedical engineering, CSOFT Health Sciences has a team of 10,000+ professional linguists to ensure highly accurate translation solutions for all types of medical documents in 250+ languages.

CSOFT Health Sciences specializes in end-to-end translation for all stages of the product development lifecycle, with high-volume document translation solutions for a variety of medical and healthcare document types including:
Efficiently Meeting the Highest Standards with Terminology Management
Effective terminology management is essential to ensure the highest quality and consistency of each document and to expedite urgent translation needs with rapid turnaround times and reduced costs. Implementing effective terminology management at the outset of a translation project can save 20% or more in total costs and reduce errors by 50%.
For companies in the life sciences industry, terminology management is even more critical to ensure documents comply with the highest regulatory standards and the safety of end users and patients.
CSOFT Health Sciences’ cloud-based terminology management system (TMS), AI-powered translation memory system, and glossary management practices ensure that every document in a series is translated consistently and to the specifications of target markets. In-country linguists help ensure the most up-to-date terminology across target geographic regions.

Multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) for Medical Document Translation
Desktop publishing, also known as DTP, occurs at the end of the medical translation or localization process and involves redesigning and formatting a document’s graphic design, typesetting, and formatting columns, graphs, and tables according to international typographical rules and industry standard practices using page layout software. As the demand for healthcare products grows overseas, accurately translated and properly formatted medical documents are crucial for market access and product success.
CSOFT Health Sciences’ desktop publishing specialists have experience working with all industry-standard desktop publishing and graphic tools and diverse document formats to support DTP on Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.

Advanced Technology for Content Management and Product Success
For life science companies expanding overseas, large volumes of medical documents require advanced language technology for continuous andhigh-quality translation. Leveraging a content management system (CMS) enables content reuse for quality, consistency, reduced time to market, and, in the case of localization, a significant reduction in translation costs. Our other AI technology tools, like machine translation (MT) and translation memory (TM), help manage continuous, high-quality translation for large projects without sacrificing money or time. CSOFT’s use of these cutting-edge technologies in conjunction with our knowledgeable team of experts allows us to deliver the highest quality and fastest translations at a lower cost.

Adhering to Regulatory Standards for CTD and eCTD Submissions with Optimized Formatting
Regulatory bodies enforce rigid specifications for CTD and eCTD submissions, which include strict language and translation guidelines. Pharmaceutical organizations risk significant delays in market entry and consequential revenue shortfalls if the formatting of these documents does not meet the stipulated standards. CSOFT Health Sciences employs a proficient team of desktop publishing (DTP) engineers who provide formatting assistance in compliance with these regulations, ensuring prompt submissions. This efficient service guarantees the most beneficial return on investment for pharmaceutical firms.

Patient Information Sheet Translation Services
As clinical studies continue to grow worldwide, patient information sheet translations are necessary to exchange patient information and utilize patient-centric data in future research studies. Communication between patients and providers is essential in healthcare treatment, and inaccurate translations can have consequences, such as exchanging false information or sharing confidential information without the patient’s consent. Whether you are a healthcare provider, patient, or clinical research organization, patient information sheets must be in regulatory compliance to ensure patient data privacy.

Good Documentation Practices (GDP) Translation Services
Good Documentation Practices (GDP), or GDocP, describes a set of standards designed for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries and required by most regulatory bodies, including the FDA, EMA, NMPA, TGA, and more. These procedures are typically carried out electronically and mandate that life science companies keep a variety of documented records throughout the product’s lifecycle. CSOFT Health Sciences understands that high-quality medical translation of these documents is essential for international regulatory compliance for every medical document.
