Medical translations

We have specialist translators who work in the health sectors, so they have no problem translating medical texts. Medical translations are a priority for our company. Thorough, up-to-date knowledge is important for medical texts, and this is a prerequisite for high-quality specialist translation. It is important that the use of terms is uniform and consistent throughout the text (once the word “hyperthermia” is chosen, it should be used throughout the document – it should not be translated as “heatstroke” anywhere).
In the context of textual fidelity, the scope specification should take into account whether the foreign language term has a commonly used equivalent in the medical/pharmaceutical terminology of the target language. Conversely, when translating a patient information leaflet, it is essential to ensure that it is understandable to the lay reader (e.g. “ague” or “malaria”; “grippe” or “influenza” or “flu”). Professionals
can also help you to know what document you need (e.g. the official name of the document known as the Little Health Book is Health Declaration and Examination Record C.3151-2/A, and the official name of the record known as the Red Book in the UK is the Personal Child Health Record (PCHR).

Translations of medical texts often require an original signed and stamped certificate, known as an official translation. Please indicate your intention to provide an official translation when requesting a quote.

Our specialist translators can help you translate the following documents: medical reports: considered an extract from the medical record, they summarise the information and actions related to the patient’s condition. Surgical report, follow-up treatment proposal, detailed patient information and patient consent form, routine medical checks (e.g. haematology, thrombosis), ultrasound findings, infertility advice, SNI childcare documents: legally binding documents describing the special educational, training, health and care needs of the child, which may qualify the child for support. Application for disability, etc.

e.g. the HCCP plan. HACCP is a system to identify, assess and control hazards that are significant to food safety. An HACCP plan is required to eliminate hazards during processing.

e.g. the certificate of origin. You can also entrust the translation of your pet’s documents to our expert colleagues. If you have acquired your dog/cat from abroad and need a pedigree certificate in a foreign language or even in Hungarian, ask our colleagues for help.
