Medical software translation

Medical devices, clinical trials, regulatory submissions (NMPA, FDA, CE MDR), IFU documentation, and pharmaceutical inserts with validated linguistic quality protocols.

Enterprise NDA protected · Rigorous terminology compliance
Medical software translation
Medical software translation ISO 17100 QA standards

Project Preparation

The following information helps align regulatory frameworks and match specialized medical reviewers.

01

Source Files

Provide clinical protocols, registration dossiers, medical device IFUs, or manuals (Word, InDesign, PDF, XML).

02

Target Languages

Specify target submission countries, languages, and regulatory frameworks (NMPA, FDA, EU MDR, PMDA).

03

Purpose & Audience

Clarify filing context (regulatory submission, clinical trials, ICF patient signing, device package inserts).

04

Terminology & References

Submit legacy glossaries, MedDRA/WHO-ART coding rules, or previous registration archives.

05

Format & Timeline

Clarify if back-translation, ethics certificates, or expedited milestone turnarounds are required.

💡 Note: For Informed Consent Forms (ICFs), a forward + back-translation + clinician reconciliation workflow is recommended.

Industry Translation & Quality Workflow

Enforcing closed-loop workflows from terminology extraction and SME translation to layout alignment.

01

Scope & Terminology Extraction

Analyze document structures, drawing layers, and extract vertical domain terms into glossaries.

02

Domain Expert Translation

Match specialized translators with healthcare, IT, legal, or engineering backgrounds.

03

Dual Review & Numeric QA

Cross-verification of technical tolerances, safety alerts, and regulatory references.

04

Layout Inspection & Callout Sync

Preserving document hierarchy, callout references, and structural alignment per source conditions.

05

Handover & TM Archival

Deliver final files, QA audit logs, and archive confirmed termbases into customer TM.

Deliverables

The following deliverables are tailored per agreed project scope.

Deliverables

  • Regulatory-compliant final translated documents (NMPA / FDA / CE MDR)
  • Back-translation and clinician reconciliation reports
  • Signed Certificate of Medical Translation Accuracy
  • MedDRA and pharmacopoeia aligned medical glossaries

Prerequisites & Scope Notes

  • Regulatory Scope: Translation certifies language fidelity; clinical study design remains sponsor responsibility
  • Layman's Language: ICFs require balancing medical precision with 6th-8th grade reading comprehension
  • eCTD Specifications: Granular PDF bookmarking and cross-linking specifications must be agreed
  • IRB Submission Windows: Expedited reviewer assignments available for impending IRB deadlines

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions on pricing, turnaround, confidentiality and file formats—contact us for anything else.

What linguist profile do you use for Medical software translation?
Industry-experienced translators and reviewers, client or project glossaries, compliance checklists, and SME review for critical sections when needed.
Are you familiar with regulatory and standard documentation?
We handle common international and local frameworks (e.g. FDA/MDR, IEC, ISO depending on sector)—IFUs, SOPs, contracts, manuals and more.
How do you maintain content over time?
Project TM and glossaries, diff-based updates, dedicated PMs and cadence aligned to your release or quarterly cycles.
How much does Medical software translation cost?
Pricing depends on word/page count, language pair, subject matter, timeline and formatting. Send a sample or files—we respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote.
What factors affect translation pricing?
Key factors: language pair, content type (general/technical/legal), layout/DTP, certified or notarized delivery, glossary work, rush fees, and volume for ongoing programs.
How long does translation take?
Typical documents are planned at roughly 2,000–3,000 source words per day; website and software work is phased by module. We confirm milestones during scoping.
