Medical Translation

Medical Translation encompasses the translation of different types of documents of the health sector, such as medical reports, medical records, instruction manuals for medical devices, clinical studies and scientific publications.

On the other hand, psychological translation, on the rise today, refers specifically to the translation of documents related with mental health, such as psychological assessments, treatments, clinical reports and scientific publications.

It is therefore important to have translation services from agencies specialised in medical translation that have experience in the sector and mechanisms to guarantee the quality of translations.

The technical terms used in these documents are complex and require an in-depth understanding of the processes of the health field.

It is important for translators to be specialised and to have a good knowledge of the terms used in both languages to be able to offer an accurate and coherent medical translation.

In addition to accuracy in terminology, another important factor in medical and psychological translation is confidentiality. By law, the information contained in medical documents is categorised as highly sensitive.

In the health sector, the translation of medical documents is essential for the medical care of patients. Coherence and accuracy are key in the translation of medical documents.

ISO 9001 for general quality processes.

ISO 17100 for quality applied directly to the management and execution of translation projects.

ISO 18587 for quality applied to the tools used in machine translation processes.

The ISO 13485 certificate is an international standard that sets requirements for quality management systems in the medical device industry.

Choosing the best translator for the health industry involves considering several key aspects.

First of all, it is important to select a translator specialised in the area of health or psychology, with technical knowledge and specific experience in the field in question (dentistry, paediatrics, cardiology, etc.).
