Have you wondered what will truly make your medical translation efficient? Trusting in your language service provider is the first step toward assuring that documents will be translated efficiently. Much goes into understanding the process of a medical device translation, so it’s important for the linguists working on your documents to have a particular skill set. Achieving efficiency demands the three skills below be taken into account at all times:
1. Experience
The experience of a native speaking translator is crucial in medical device translations. These factors should also be considered when weighing the value of native-speaking translators against your other options:
Human cognition allows words to be translated in the proper context with attention paid to appropriate word choice.
Inaccuracy of machine translation is often a product of a failure to recognize a string of words as the sum of its parts.
2. Understanding Medical Terminology
It goes without saying that a medical device translation service should have an in-depth understanding of medical terminology. Surprisingly, this isn’t always the case.
Make sure that the language service provider employs certified, skilled, and experienced linguists with plenty of experience using medical terminology.
A language service provider will not only employ linguistic experts, they will regularly utilize medical and pharmaceutical resources to ensure the terminology is accurate as well as up to date.
3. Slang and Nuance in Translation
All languages have specific characteristics which can easily be misinterpreted if careful consideration to slang and nuance is not given.
Not all languages have translations for slang terms. Intimate knowledge of a language must be utilized to ensure a suitable and coherent translation is made.
A quality medical translation service pays special attention to technical details and cultural subtleties. Even the slightest misinterpretation can leave a patient skeptical as to a medical provider’s competency.
A quality language service provider will expediently and accurately translate medical device documents, saving the client a great deal of money in the long run. This factor in addition to the three components mentioned above create efficiency. Translation efficiency is worth finding. After all, what kind of price tag can be placed on peace of mind?
