Today, we’re diving into the world of medical translation, an essential yet often underestimated task in the healthcare industry. Medical or clinical translation involves translating medical documents into different languages based on specialized knowledge in medicine and pharmaceuticals.
As healthcare becomes increasingly globalized, the demand for professional clinical translation is rising. Domestic healthcare institutions actively seek international collaborations, requiring translations of medical records, prescriptions, and other medical documents. However, translating complex medical terms, understanding healthcare systems and regulations across countries, and accurately addressing unfamiliar diseases or treatments is no easy feat.
Let’s explore why professional clinical translation is so challenging, the key considerations to keep in mind, and how Bering Lab leverages AI technology and medical experts to deliver high-quality clinical translations.
✍🏻 Key Challenges in Clinical Translation
1. Specialized Terminology
Accurate translation of medical terms is crucial, yet challenging. Medical terminology is highly specialized, and the meaning of terms can change depending on the context. For example, the term “acute” may mean “sudden,” “severe,” or “intense,” depending on the situation. Without deep expertise, choosing the correct translation can be nearly impossible.
2. Regulations and Formatting
Medical documents have strict formats and regulatory requirements that vary by type and country. Clinical trial protocols, case report forms, and IRB submission documents all have unique formats, and failing to adhere to these can result in rejected approvals.
3. 100% Accuracy
Unlike general translations, clinical translations require flawless precision. A single error in dosage or administration times could risk lives. Medical device manuals and clinical trial documents, in particular, must be scrutinized for errors, as even a minor mistranslation can lead to severe consequences.
