Medical translation
Medical translation into more than 40 languages in areas such as health and social care, life science, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and advanced medical technology.
Professional medical translation – crucial for high quality
We offer translation of medical texts to and from Swedish, British and US English, and many other languages. Our medical translation clients operate in areas such as pharmaceutical development, life science, health and social care, biotechnology and medical technology. We translate everything from clinical trial documentation and research reports to press releases, patient information and annual reports for clients both inside and outside the Nordic region. It is particularly important that medical translations are free from errors as these can have very serious consequences.
Qualified specialists in medical translation whose native language is the target language
Meticulous attention to detail and precision are key when working on a medical translation. The texts often contain complex medical terminology and therefore specialised knowledge in the area – in both the source and target language – is essential. Our medical translators are knowledgeable in natural sciences and, for quality purposes, they only translate into their native language. We always discuss any details that are unclear with our clients because they are experts in the topic of the original text. This type of dialogue helps to ensure that all information and terminology is accurately and precisely reproduced in the translated text. As part of our human quality assurance process, the text is always reviewed by an additional linguist before delivery.
Procedures for confidential information
Medical texts for translation may have confidential content. Examples include texts on medtech innovations, discoveries in medical research projects or sensitive material in a clinical study. We have many years of experience and clear procedures for handling information that is confidential or compliance-sensitive, but we of course treat all medical translations as confidential.

Our expertise in medical translation
Life science
Life science is a very broad, interdisciplinary field involving research into everything that is alive and covering a multitude of disciplines – essentially, most of what comes to mind when we talk about medical texts. Areas include biomedicine, scientific research, pharmacology, psychiatry or biology, to name but a few.
Pharmaceuticals
Over the years we have helped numerous clients in various areas of the pharmaceutical industry. They have included companies producing specific drug candidates and orphan drugs to those distributing OTC drugs or operating pharmacies.
Health and social care
We have clients active in the health and social care sector who, for example, operate healthcare facilities, lab clinics or care homes for the elderly. We offer translation of various types of medical texts for these companies, including annual reports and financial reports containing advanced medical terminology. We also translate information for patients and their immediate family.
Medical technology
Many well-known medtech products have their origins in Sweden, such as the pacemaker, the gamma knife and the walker. There are currently around a million medtech products and services on the European market today. These include everything from advanced technical equipment, such as X-ray and dialysis devices, to smaller products such as colostomy bags and incontinence protection. Digital medical records systems and health apps are also included in medtech. Over the years we have translated information on these types of products and services for numerous clients.
