Medical & Life-Sciences Translation for clinical and regulatory documentation
Clinical and regulatory documentation precise enough to submit, not just to read.
Regulatory and patient-safety stakes attach to every sentence of medical and life-sciences documentation. An error here is not a style issue.
We translate clinical trial documentation, patient information, medical-device documentation, and pharmaceutical and regulatory texts between German and English, and other pairs on request, from €0.21/word. Every translation is produced by a linguist with relevant subject-matter experience and independently revised by a second linguist before delivery.
Confidentiality is stated explicitly on this page because it carries the heaviest weight of any service we offer: what document handling means in practice — retention window, who accesses the file, and when it's deleted — is set out in full below.
