Accurate Medical Translations in 250+ Languages
Medical translations are crucial for life science and healthcare organizations to improve health and access to medical care around the world. Accurate medical translation services for various treatments and products are both required by law and are fundamentally important to enabling international patients and professionals to make informed health decisions. Furthermore, in today’s global drug development sphere, multilingual medical translations are indispensable to accessing diverse patient populations and gaining regulatory approval in worldwide markets.
The translation of medical content requires professional and experienced linguists that have in-depth and up-to-date subject matter knowledge. These linguists are equipped with advanced translation technology enabling language services that provide accurate and high-quality medical translation services quickly and affordably. Medical translations are crucial for administering new treatments, developing drug therapies, and innovating medical devices. With patient safety and the prevention of costly delays at stake, there is no room for error.
CSOFT Health Sciences’ global team of subject matter experts and linguists have a minimum of 7 years of experience in the field to meet your medical translation needs, whether it is for healthcare documents, medical device manuals, informed consent forms, or whatever medical content you need translated. We use our own terminology management and translation memory systems to ensure consistent, high-quality medical translation services for a better ROI and faster turnaround time in 250+ languages. In addition, CSOFT Health Sciences offers a cloud translation management system which saves all multilingual documentation in one central location for optimum convenience and efficiency, to confidently engage clients, healthcare professionals, and patients globally.
Medical Document Translation Services
Medical documents are used by virtually every sector within the life sciences and require professional and accurate translations that correctly document terminology and subject matter. From patient information sheets and medico-marketing materials to clinical service agreements and common technical documents (CTDs), medical document translation services are essential for a variety of document types found across the life science and healthcare industries. For life science companies expanding overseas, accurate medical document translations are crucial in gaining market access and complying with local regulatory requirements.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) Translations
Electronic health records (EHRs) are among the most important documents to translate with the upmost precision accuracy. EHRs contain a patient’s medical history, demographics, diagnoses, medication logs, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, vital signs, and laboratory test results. This information is critical in gaining a better understanding of the patient’s overall health, which allows healthcare professionals to make better decisions regarding treatment. For global health organizations, accurate EHR translation is crucial in ensuring the highest quality of care for patients. To market these advancements across languages, medical translation and localization of EHR software, including terminology management, linguistic, cosmetic, and functional testing, and other localization best practices, are all necessary to maintain EHR integrity and functionality.

Medical Translations for Clinical Trials
Due to the expansion of agile methodologies and inclusive clinical trial designs in recent years, an increasing number of clinical trials are being conducted in overseas markets. This change involves more patients from multiple countries, making these global traials subject to various international regulations. This means that medical translation and localization have become essential in the clinical trial process to accurately represent both the participant in the study, as well as the healthcare organization conducting it.
Regardless of if you are a contract research organization (CRO), Institutional Review Board (IRB), or hospital, CSOFT Health Sciences has you covered for all your flexible clinical trial translation projects. Our cloud-based management system helps streamline project management and the translation process, so all files and documents are in one place.

Medical Terminology Management
Medical terminology management is vital when translating medical documents, products, and services. Patient health and safety depends on accurate, consistent, and high-quality translations of medical terms. Terminology management systems (TMS) eliminate ambiguity to provide a clear, streamlined method of organizing medical terms, abbreviations, and keywords. To help life science companies navigate this challenge and streamline the management of glossaries, CSOFT Health Sciences’ advanced terminology management systems ensure you can be confident that your brand, message, and content are received by your target audience the way you intended.

Certified Medical Translations
Certified translations for medical documents are essential for life science companies looking to reach new international markets that have strict regulatory guidelines. For heavily regulated industries within the medical field, a certified translation often includes notarized documents that are used to legitimize the translation and ensure the translation was done to the highest degree of accuracy. Medical documents such as pharmacovigilance reports, informed consent forms, and patient recruitment documentation require certified translations that are carried out by a professional who can assure these documents are in compliance with specific in-country requirements, and can be used in formal procedures, like clinical trials. CSOFT Health sciences provides certified medical translations for heavily regulated life science industries including pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, and chemicals.

Scientific Article Translations
In the life sciences, many diseases and disorders require global responses and collaboration to develop life-saving cures. To facilitate effective global collaboration, cross-border knowledge sharing and publishing life science research in peer reviewed journals is essential. Although English has dominated the world of academic research, the increasing prominence of the academic sector in non-English speaking countries means that research manuscripts, reviews, abstracts, book reviews, and more must be translated into a wider variety of languages to be effectively utilized to solve pressing global health issues. CSOFT Health Sciences provides highly accurate and cost-effective scientific article translations across 250+ languages.
Learn more about our scientific article translations.
Informed Consent Form Translations
Accurate translation of informed consent forms is imperative in protecting both the patient’s safety during medical procedures and clinical trials, and the legal security for healthcare professionals and businesses administering care. Poorly translated informed consent forms can result in a patient making an uninformed decision that could ultimately lead to malpractice lawsuits. Patients that do not understand English well, or at all, must have accurately translated versions of informed consent documents in their native language to ensure full comprehension of the regulatory requirements. This also helps provide clear communication between the patient and their physician or healthcare professional regarding treatments and potential side effects. With a global network of linguists and subject matter experts, CSOFT Health Sciences specializes in informed consent form translations for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare workers, as well as clinical trials, clinical research organizations (CROs), and more.
