Enhancing Healthcare with Professional Translation Services

Professional healthcare translation helps providers speak clearly with patients who do not speak English and deliver quality care.

Patients who do not speak English need to understand their diagnosis, their treatment and their rights. Professional translation keeps that understanding accurate, in medical settings where a misunderstood word can change the care a patient receives.

Clear Language Is Part of Safe Care

Healthcare providers must communicate clearly with patients who speak many languages, so the information reaches the patient as written.

How we work

How Medical Translation Works

  1. Terminology Check

    Medical terms are matched to the target language before the translation starts.

  2. Medical Translator

    The translator knows the terms and writes for patients as well as for professionals.

  3. Second Reader

    A second reader checks accuracy and clarity.

  4. Confidentiality

    Medical files are handled under confidentiality agreements with our linguists.

Questions About Healthcare Translation

Do You Offer HIPAA Business Associate Agreements?
We do not offer Business Associate Agreements. We can explain how we handle medical files and what our linguists agree to, and answer your specific questions before you send anything.
Is Medical Translation Different from General Translation?
Yes. Medical texts use specialized terms, and a mistake can change how a treatment is understood. Medical translators work with those terms every day.
Which Languages Do You Translate Medical Content Into?
We translate into more than 50 languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French and Korean.
