Medical translation

Medical translation is a highly specialized text to which increased requirements for the accuracy of the meaning reproduction are set. Since medicine is universal, but languages are not, the translator of the medical text must be a specialist in a broad field, and understand the importance of the “mission” undertaken, since someone’s life and human health may depend on his correct interpretation of medical terms. There are about 40 sections with specific terminology in medicine, so only a true expert in his field can take on this work.

A competent medical translation requires from the translator the knowledge of industry-specific features and nuances as accurately as a physician knows them. In real life, however, such people are rather few. Therefore, this kind of translation implies a complex work of a whole team of experts, including translators, linguists, medical consultants, editors, and proofreaders. Sometimes such a task involves expert native speakers.

Texts requiring medical translation:

• case records. In this case, the “case record” includes such parts as a datasheet, information about the disease, medical examination, patient’s current condition and test results;
• patients’ medical records;
• all kinds of certificates (quarantine, sanitary, veterinary etc.);
• results of medical examinations and diagnoses;
• various files and professional examination reports;
• doctors’ prescriptions;
• private texts related to the patient’s personal health (including the correspondence);
• patient information leaflets;
• medical literature, publications (including articles), interviews;
• informed consent forms;
• insurance documents;
• laws and regulations related to medicine.

As for the terminology, we take into account all the nuances. For example, some concepts may have a different meaning or interpretation depending on the region within the same country and so on. Our specialists can’t do without the basics of Latin and Greek, since all medical terms are rooted in these languages. It may be necessary to contact a doctor if some documents are submitted written “by hand”, since the doctors’ handwriting is not always legible and requires additional clarification.

Urgent medical translations are our specialty. As the practice of the OpenSpace Translation Agency shows, such work should always be done as soon as possible, with clear knowledge of:

• all innovations in the medical field;
• anatomical classification (terms, techniques, technologies, devices, algorithms, etc.);
• units of measure used in the country into the language of which the translation is being done;
• an extensive “personal” vocabulary;
• established contacts with medical specialists of the country into the language of which the translation is done.
