3 Things You Should Know About Getting a Medical Language Translator

By Sabrina Eskelson inTranslations

Translating is technical work. It’s not enough that a person knows both languages required for the undertaking. Context, expertise, and experience are all required for someone to accurately translate information. Throw in technical medical terms and the job becomes exponentially harder. This is why it is important to have a medical language translator. Hiring a medical interpreter through an agency will greatly help your project.

Here are three things you need to know when choosing a medical language translator:

Experience

Not every translationagency can provide a medical language translator nor is every agency good at what they do. The first thing to check is their history and experience. Do they have decades of experience in translating medical documents in particular? Are they certified, language translators? Are they members of language and translating associations, such as the ATA (American Translators Association) and the ELIA (European Language Industry Association)? These factors will determine whether or not your chosen translating agency has what it takes to work with you.

Expertise

Only a few translation companies have a medical language translator on board because medicine is a highlytechnical field that requires expert knowledge and training. Make sure that your chosen agency can provide high-quality, reliable, and consistent medical language translations.

Recommendations

A good medical translation agency is one which has earned glowing reviews from previous customers. They should also be confident that they are able to work with complex medical documents, including pharmaceutical write-ups, medical equipment, medical training materials, and more. Ideally, a medical translation agency specializes in various fields, such as biotechnologies, life science, pharmaceutical, nutrition, chemical, among others. Lastly, they also have pre-existing relationships with hospitals, medical researchers, pharmaceutical firms, and medical equipment manufacturers that can testify to the quality of work that the agency provides.

Hiring a trained medical language translator is very important because these translations can literally save a life.
