The  study  and  practice  of  Medicine has always held a special position because it deals with human beings, with their personality, their body and their life. This is probably the reason why medical trans­lation belongs to one of the oldest fields of translation.

 

Accuracy  in  the  interpretation  of  all  medical texts,  regardless of  their  end  purpose (professional  or personal)   is  of particular importance in the translation process and it is a responsibility that our company would never take lightly. Translating medical documents accurately  requires   a   native   or  near-native,  formal  level  of  language  proficiency,

analytical capabilities, and deep cultural knowledge in the source and target languages.

 

A medical translator has formal education in the source and target languages at least at the college level (and ideally has received instruction in translation theory and practice), is an expert  on  the terminology  of  the  subject matter, fully understands the source text, can write  correctly, and  makes  use  of  very  specialized  dictionaries. 

Professional  medical  translators  also  conduct  terminology  research  to  validate equivalents in the target language, particularly when translating into a language with several regional variations, and/or to understand a term in context
