Life sciences translation requires both linguistic precision and subject-matter expertise. Our linguists have backgrounds in medicine, pharmacy and biomedical sciences, and work with client glossaries and translation memory so that terminology stays consistent across protocols, labels, leaflets and regulatory submissions.
Our medical translation services include medical document translation of every kind: medical records translation for patients and hospitals, clinical trial translation (protocols, informed consent forms, CRFs and patient diaries), pharmaceutical translation (SmPCs, patient leaflets, labels and dossiers) and medical device translation (instructions for use, labelling and software UI).

Travelling for treatment, claiming insurance or applying for a visa? We provide certified translations of medical records, discharge summaries, test results, prescriptions and vaccination certificates, from around $25 per page and usually within 24–48 hours.
For life sciences companies, we translate clinical trial protocols, informed consent forms, patient-reported outcome questionnaires, SmPCs and patient leaflets, instructions for use and labelling. Under the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and IVDR, device information must be provided in the official languages of each country where the product is sold – our medical translation services are built around those requirements.
Healthcare interpretation services provide hospital digital translation service and medical facilities with greater accessibility to care, regardless of language barriers. These services are a key part of health care translation and ensure clear, accurate communication between medical professionals and patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Trained medical interpreters help both patients and healthcare staff connect by offering precise, real-time translation services for healthcare. They not only interpret medical terminology and treatment instructions but also promote cultural understanding and sensitivity during consultations.
Additionally, interpreters often assist with medical document translation, such as consent forms and treatment summaries, ensuring that patients fully understand their rights and medical procedures. This bridge between language and care greatly enhances the patient experience and improves overall healthcare outcomes.
By integrating healthcare translation services and professional interpreting into medical systems, providers ensure that every patient receives equal, quality care, no matter their language or culture.
A certified medical interpreter is a trained professional who provides specialized language support to healthcare providers and patients with limited English proficiency. These interpreters play a vital role in healthcare translation services, ensuring that medical information is conveyed accurately and confidentially across languages.
Certified interpreters possess deep knowledge of hospital translation principles, cultural competence, and professional ethics. They have high proficiency in at least two languages and are skilled in the specific terminology used in translation medicine and clinical communication. They work across various medical environments, hospitals, clinics, and private practices, offering essential translation services for healthcare organizations that rely on clear communication to provide safe and effective care.
Certification standards may vary by country or region but generally require the completion of a formal training program and a recognized qualification exam. These credentials confirm that the interpreter has the expertise to deliver accurate, reliable, and culturally sensitive health care translation and interpretation services in all medical settings.
Medical documents contain sensitive personal data. All linguists sign confidentiality agreements, files are transferred through encrypted channels and access is limited to the project team. We process personal data in line with GDPR.
PoliLingua provides certified medical interpreters who possess extensive experience and in-depth medical vocabulary. Each interpreter follows the highest standards of medical translation and interpretation protocols, ensuring clarity and accuracy in every interaction.
We offer healthcare translation services and interpreting in a wide range of languages, including Spanish, French, Mandarin, and German, so you can always find an interpreter fluent in your required language. Our experts are trained to deliver precise and culturally sensitive translation services for healthcare organizations and medical institutions.
As an established medical translation agency, PoliLingua values accuracy, quality, and confidentiality above all else. You can trust that our interpreters and translators will facilitate effective communication between healthcare professionals and patients, ensuring safe and compassionate care.
Healthcare translation must be accurate, complete and consistent, because a single error can affect patient safety or regulatory approval. Every PoliLingua medical translation is produced by a specialist translator, revised by a second medical linguist and checked for terminology, units and dosages before delivery. For regulated products, we follow the language requirements of the EU MDR, IVDR and national authorities.
Alongside written translation, we offer medical interpreting services for hospitals, clinics and research sites. Our medical interpreters support consultations, clinical trial visits and patient education, on site or remotely by phone and video, so we can provide complete translation and interpreting services for your patients and studies.

Medical translation services cover the process of converting healthcare documents such as patient records, consent forms, clinical trials, prescriptions, and pharmaceutical labels from one language into another. Unlike general translation, it requires specialists with both linguistic fluency and medical expertise. A single mistranslated term, a wrong dosage or misrendered diagnosis, can directly harm patients or expose healthcare providers to serious legal liability. That's why medical translation is governed by strict quality standards such as ISO 17100 and HIPAA compliance.
The cost of medical document translation services depends on several factors: the language pair, document type, volume, and level of certification required. For those seeking medical translation services online, pricing can vary significantly between platforms and agencies. A single translated page typically starts from $20 and goes up depending on complexity, specialization, and additional requirements such as expedited delivery or multi-step quality review. Highly technical documents like pharmaceutical dossiers, clinical trial protocols, or regulatory submissions naturally sit at the higher end. Requesting a custom quote from a trusted agency is always the best way to get accurate pricing for your specific needs.
No. Professional medical translation services deal with written documents, converting patient records, consent forms, or pharmaceutical labels from one language to another. A medical interpreter, by contrast, works in real time, facilitating live spoken communication between a patient and a healthcare provider during consultations, hospital visits, or telehealth sessions. Both require deep medical terminology knowledge and strict confidentiality, but the skills and workflows are entirely different. Many healthcare organizations need both services, which a full-service provider can deliver together.
AI translation tools have improved in speed and fluency, but they are not a safe or legally accepted substitute for certified medical document translation services. Research shows AI accuracy can drop to as low as 36-76% when translating into English, an unacceptable margin when patient safety is at stake. Documents such as informed consent forms, NDAs, clinical trial protocols, and regulatory submissions require a certified human translation, a signed declaration of accuracy that no AI tool can provide. For anything affecting patient care or legal compliance, human translation is mandatory.
