Differences from medical translations.

Pharma translations demand specialised expertise in pharmacy and have to comply with strict regulatory requirements. Medical translations, in comparison, cover a broader range of fields.

What is a pharma translation?

Pharma translations put specialised texts from the pharmaceutical industry across professionally in an array of languages. They guarantee that patients around the world can access essential information in their own language.

Why are accurate pharma translations important?

Zero tolerance for errors!

In the pharma industry, even the tiniest inaccuracies in translation can have fatal consequences! One mixed-up letter, like ‘ethanol’ instead of ‘methanol’, changes the substance and could put patients’ lives in danger.

Our experienced translators use state-of-the-art technology to guarantee flawless translations and ensure compliance with government authorities like the EMA and the FDA.

Qualified and experienced translators.

Our specialised translators put their medical and pharmaceutical studies to use in the translation process. They know the specific requirements for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, and ensure that every nuance is reproduced correctly, whether it’s in Spanish, French or any other language.
