    Translation trend: Medical field

    Language over Lancet – the new tool of modern medicine and how you can use it

    In today's world, the importance of medical translations is more crucial than ever. Advances in modern medicine and challenges in the healthcare system have led to a strong demand for high-quality translations in this field, which is also noticeable at tolingo. 

    Medical translations are highly complex and require specialized expertise in an ever-changing technical language, as well as the ability to create precise and error-free texts.
    Translators in this field often need to have knowledge in law, technology, or marketing, as medical texts are often interdisciplinary. Certified translations may also be required for court or government authorities, which is why translators need to be sworn in.

    Despite the high requirements for medical translations, there are various educational paths and opportunities for specialists to acquire these professional backgrounds. Whether through professional experience in the medical field, a medical degree, a traditional translation degree with a focus on medicine, or as in-house translators in medical organizations, the paths are diverse.

    It's never too late to further your education!

    If you're interested in medical translations but don't have sufficient expertise yet, here are some resources: 

    • https://seminare.bdue.de/ (Offered by the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators)
    • https://www.emwa.org/about-us/about-emwa (European Medical Writers Association)
    • Medical and translation trade publications
    • Workshops and events in the medical industry

    Professional associations regularly offer courses and seminars on medical topics, and even attending trade fairs and reading trade publications can help you get started in the industry and provide networking opportunities.

    Medical translations are a demanding task that requires specialized expertise. If you're interested in this field but don't have sufficient prior knowledge, it's important to continue your education and stay updated.
    The resources mentioned can help you expand your knowledge and support you on the path to a successful career in medical translations.

     

    Good luck!
