Accuracy and clarity are imperative in the complex world of the pharmaceutical industry. From drug research and development to marketing and distribution, communication requires technical and scientific information for the interpretation of complex texts that encompass academic areas, which is why medical translation services play such an important role in facilitating knowledge transfer and global collaboration. In this article, you will learn their definition, as well as the main benefits they provide to pharmaceutical establishments throughout the country from SCR Consultores.
Introduction to medical translations
It is understood as the translation of all types of documentation related to the pharmaceutical area and other elements within the health field. As the pharmaceutical industry is one of the most important worldwide, as well as one of the most delicate due to its direct application to the public, greater emphasis is given to the treatment of its reports. This is why the need for a correct interpretation of pharmaceutical supplies, many of them coming from abroad, arises. Therefore, medical translation services are not done in a «literal» way, but are linked to the degree of knowledge in terminology and knowledge of each area. We find: Biochemistry, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and others, to name a few examples.
Medical translator profile
According to the International Association of Translators and Editors of Medicine and Allied Sciences, in a publication shared by the Panace@ Magazine, there is a lot of misinformation on the subject and there are few online pages that provide quality content. In other words, there is a poor systematization of the field in general, which causes translation professionals to be underestimated and approached as mere translators from one language to another
On the contrary. As explained above, the medical translation services are of vital importance for countries where the health of their inhabitants is at stake, so a medical translator is necessary as long as he or she has the appropriate profile for the job. There are many qualities that he/she should possess, some of the most outstanding ones are:
- Knowledge of the language of origin.
- Adequate and updated medical training.
- Have ample capacity for scientific analysis.
- Master several disciplines within the world of medicine.
- In addition to the above, understand the terminology of each branch.
Benefits of medical translation services
The wide scope and high complexity of specialized translation in the healthcare sector require translators dedicated to this field to have extensive experience in scientific translation, which includes aspects such as: great command of the source and target languages, complete knowledge of terminology, ability to adapt to different textual typologies, great understanding of terms and competence with respect to orthotypographic conventions, adaptation to different registers according to the professional audience, student or patient, among others.
The medical translation services offer a number of benefits that are critical to ensuring accuracy and proper understanding in communication between healthcare professionals and patients who speak different languages. Here are five outstanding benefits:
Accuracy and clarity in communication
Medical translation ensures that crucial information related to diagnosis, treatment, medical procedures and prescriptions is conveyed accurately and clearly between medical staff and patients who speak different languages. This helps prevent misunderstandings and errors that could jeopardize patient health.
Regulatory and legal compliance
In many countries, there are regulations and laws that require medical facilities to provide medical translation services to patients who do not speak the local language. By using professional medical translation and interpretation services, facilities can ensure compliance with these regulations and avoid potential legal penalties and ethical issues.
Mastery of advanced terminologies
In addition, medical translation and interpreting services ensure that your professionals have a thorough knowledge of the terminology and phraseology used in medical translation. As well as the conventions of the different types of content. If you work in the technical-scientific sector, do not hesitate to use specialized translation services.
