What should you care about

1. Why do you need medical translation services?

What makes translating a medical document much harder than any other documents is that it requires a specific background in medicine. Medical translation is basically paraphrasing. For example, how many people can understand these words: hypertrophic laminae, preliminary resection, interlaminar distractor, etc. Thus, a language specialist must have a certain degree of knowledge about medical terminology to communicate at a professional level. In addition, because medical language is based on Latin, if a translator has education on the mother language of medical terms, he/she can do the work much more efficient.

When a business brings out a new drug, there are many stages in which the translation is required. Medical translation must be precise and up-to-date. Moreover, medical translators must have a full understanding of stringent regulatory laws in the country of the target market.

For medical translation, tt’s not recommended to use machine translation. Although it might be able to assist you understand the main point, when it comes to translating specialized terminology, it is not trust-worthy.
