Medical translation
What you should know about medical translation at KLS
Professional medical translation at our agency embraces the topics of human health and diseases – from patient documents, such as hospital cards, laboratory results, and medical history to information materials and research, including medical literature, documentation, and pharmaceutical brochures. The document types include test results, hospital records, clinical trials, medical reports, diagnoses, prescriptions, medical certificates, patents, diplomas, and more.
Medical practitioners and institutions may provide handwritten statements to their patients. Our translators are skilled in decrypting illegible documents containing specific terms and abbreviations. They also pay attention to the different spelling in the American and British versions. By combining deep linguistic knowledge and medical background, our translators accurately and clearly represent handwritten text.
Only a person with a medical background has sufficient knowledge to understand all terms and acronyms and attain impeccable translation accuracy. Additionally, medical texts may require a strong command of Latin language, which a medical translator must necessarily possess. If the situation requires, our translators even consult with healthcare practitioners to provide the most precise formulations.
You can choose either standard terms or urgent translation for your medical texts. If you need your materials ready within the shortest possible time frame, the price for translation will be higher. Please note that translation may require more time for languages less widespread than English.
The confidentiality of all personal data is guaranteed. We will sign a non-disclosure agreement before starting our cooperation.
