Translations for the medical and scientific research fields
Scientific and medical translations are sensitive translations where the experience and scientific knowledge of the translator are crucial.
English has long established itself globally as the official language of Science (and Medicine) and Technology (i.e. English for Science and Technology, otherwise known as EST); indeed the majority of research and publications are written in English.
The language of scientific and medical discourse is universal, but their conventions are not always easy to grasp for the layman. In these fields, mistakes can be the cause of serious injuries or even fatalities.
Scientific and medical literature have as many faces as they have audiences, but be it journal article or clinical data, if you are seeking help with content of this kind, the accuracy of the final rendition, both linguistic and scientific, will be all the more crucial for you and subject knowledge and speed of delivery will be high on your list of priorities.
You can rest assured that we have a clear understanding of the translation process and the topic as well as an insider’s familiarity with everyday terminology, equipment and techniques.
Your translation will be handled by an experienced translator with a scientific academic education; a researcher and laboratory scientist, who keeps abreast with new research and developments, familiar with the rules of scientific and medical prose and data analysis, with applied experience of assay design, sampling, testing and diagnostic methodologies, equipment and instrumentation.

Work flow
We tackle each new task with the same enthusiasm as the first, but with the processing methodology that over time has proved effective in guaranteeing optimal results.
Here’s how we proceed each time we are entrusted with a document:
- we read it carefully to identify the specific technical field to which it belongs;
- we analyze it from a terminological viewpoint;
- we translate it in complete respect of the style and tone of the original, with the help of specific glossaries created over time by sector and by customer, carrying out relevant online searches;
- we read it again, more than once, before the final revision, at intervals of a few hours or a day, to eliminate eventual typos and refine its overall cohesion and quality;
- we submit it to a final review at the hands of an experienced reviewer;
- we deliver it to the customer, always within the established terms and in the established format.
