    Translation of medical texts – precision and expertise

    Accuracy is the decisive factor where the health of patients is concerned. This is particularly important for medical and pharmaceutical texts such as patient information leaflets or instructions for medical products. At the tolingo translation agency, we have particularly high quality standards in respect of medical translations. Our qualified specialists translate accurately and supported by our artificial intelligence system if desired.

    Medical and pharmaceutical translations – accurate & fast

    When it comes to medical translations, precision is paramount. It’s only possible to ensure that specialist terms and abbreviations are flawlessly translated into the target language when the greatest possible care is taken. If inaccuracies creep in, this can have serious consequences – particularly for patients. We therefore only employ translators for medical translations who are experienced in the industry, have the necessary eye for detail and can also prove this qualification. For large text quantities, our artificial intelligence (AI) system delivers high-quality translated results in seconds. Our experts will check through these results with their specialist knowledge if desired.

    For the translation of medical and pharmaceutical content, we recommend our Smart bundle. Thanks to the combination of specialist translation and AI translation, we combine quality with speed. We deploy our AI where it can deliver added value. Our specialists give your text the final polish and translate complex passages with the required know-how.

    AI

    Fast and focused on the essentials. Our artificial intelligence translates your texts, experienced translators check to see if the core information has actually been translated correctly and make improvements to the text if necessary.

    Medical translations – for all disciplines & specialist fields

    Medical-technical instructions or pharmaceutical formulations must exactly match the contents of the source text in the target languages to ensure the absolute safety of patients. So that this is the case, we have three prerequisites for medical translators: 1) excellent language knowledge, 2) proven specialist expertise and 3) up-to-date knowledge of relevant regulations. Both our experts and also our artificial intelligence system know the terminology of the medical disciplines and are always up-to-date regarding changes in regulations and standards (e.g. the Medical Devices Regulation). tolingo works with mother-tongue translators in all sectors of the healthcare industry, including for medical technology, veterinary medicine, dental medicine and pharmaceutics.

    “We’re a pharmaceutical company, so for us the quality of the translations is our number-one priority. Not only are our medical texts complex and sophisticated, they also need to comply with industry-specific EU standards. In tolingo, we’ve found a highly competent service provider who’s always on our side.

    For instance, we’ve had certified translations, package inserts and manuals translated into a variety of European languages. We’ve been working with tolingo for several years now, and that alone is a testament to the quality of our partnership.”

    FAQ

    Key questions – and all the answers

    • What is a medical translation?

      A medical translation is the translation of texts, documents and records from the healthcare industry, pharmaceutics and other medical specialist fields. It includes doctors’ correspondence, patient information leaflets and descriptions of medical products. Owing to the sensitive content of these texts, we have to fulfil particularly high quality requirements when translating them. As well as excellent language knowledge, the translators need to have a high level of specialist medical knowledge and be aware of currently applicable laws, standards and regulations.

    • How quickly will I receive a medical translation?

      As with any translation, the turnaround time for medical translations depends on the text quantity. As soon as we know the volume of your order, we send you a quotation with guaranteed delivery date. Our procedures are so well optimised that we are able to process every order rapidly and deliver within a few days. There is an additional option Express and Super Express for particularly urgent orders. We thereby give high priority to your order and work at top speed.

    • Can I specify a terminology list for the translation?

      Yes of course – you are welcome to send us a list with specialist terms (including your translation) for your text. We will then incorporate your terminology list into the briefing to the translator, who will translate everything according to your specifications.

      As a general rule: If you have clear specifications or special wishes, simply inform us about this when you order. Then we will carry out the translation project precisely according to these requirements. In addition to the translation, we will also compile a translation memory, carry out proofreading or editing and optimise the translation with a layout adaption. Learn more about our add-on services.

    • Can I have a translation memory compiled for a medical translation?

      We would be delighted to compile a translation memory for your medical translation. You thereby ensure that specialist terms in the translation (and all follow-on orders!) are consistent and used with the same wording. Longer text passages are also saved and used in the appropriate places.

      Simply tell us that you would like to have a translation memory when you order so that we can set up a database for your translations.

    • How can I order a medical translation?

      You can simply order your medical translations by telephone or email.
