Medical Translation into German
We translate medical documentation from English, Spanish and French into German for pharmaceutical companies, CROs, medical device manufacturers and medical communications agencies. Our 16 years of experience span clinical trial documentation, product information, manuals, questionnaires and medical books.
Training and Specialisation
All our linguists are German native with university degrees in translation and interpreting. We complement this foundation with EMWA medical writing workshops, courses lasting several months in medical fundamentals and medical writing at Apollon Hochschule der Gesundheitswirtschaft, and continuing professional development through the BDÜ and mentoring programmes.
Revision and Quality Assurance
When your project requires an independent revision, a second linguist compares the translation with the original, following the four-eyes principle. We check accuracy, natural phrasing and adherence to your instructions, style guides and glossaries. We complement this review with quality assurance (QA) tools to detect inconsistencies, omissions and errors in numbers, units or formatting.
Your Documents Change. We Build on Previous Work.
CAT Tools
Translation memories and terminology databases help us reuse approved content and maintain consistency across documents and versions. Depending on your setup, we work with Trados Studio, Phrase, memoQ or your own translation environment. If you do not yet have translation memories, we can create them by aligning your original documents with their previous translations. We also incorporate your glossaries and reference materials to follow your company’s terminology and style from the very first project.
Tracked Changes
When your source documents are updated, we revise the existing translations using tracked changes, ensuring that the translated documents mirrow exactly the updated source and that all changes are clearly visible for review.
Machine Translation Post-Editing — MTPE
We review machine translations against the original. We correct errors in meaning, omissions, terminology and unnatural phrasing, paying particular attention to the risks associated with medical texts.
The scope of post-editing is agreed with you based on the document’s intended use.
