What’s Our Multi-stage Quality Assurance Pharmaceutical Translation?
A multi-stage quality assurance (QA) pharmaceutical translation is rigorous. We highly specialised process designed to eliminate linguistic and clinical errors in every kind of life sciences content. Mistakes in drug development or patient care can be fatal; therefore, our multi-tiered system ensures absolute accuracy, cultural adaptation, and strict global regulatory compliance.
Linguistic Translation & In-Depth Review
We first engage subject-matter experts (SMEs) who hold advanced life science degrees and native-level fluency in the target language to maintain the highest quality for translation needs. We use specialised translation technology to strictly adhere to your brand’s approved terminology and glossaries.
Then an independent, senior-level medical translator reviews the text against the source document to maintain consistency in brand voice, to correct grammar, syntax, and flow, and to fix all errors related to numbers, formatting, and cultural or regional numerics.
Back-Translation (High-Risk Documents)
For clinical documents like Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) or Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), our top pharmaceutical translators use reverse translation. Therefore, an independent translator back-translates the text into the original source language. This is compared against the original source text to identify and correct any subtle discrepancies.
We then assign a senior in-country medical professional or pharmacist to review the translated files. They ensure the translation meets local regulatory standards (such as those of the EMA, FDA, or CDSCO) and accurately reflects regional clinical practices.
Desktop Publishing (DTP) & Formatting
The finalised translations are typeset and formatted to match the original document layout (e.g., package inserts, drug labels, or medical device manuals). Final QA checks are run to ensure no text was corrupted or misplaced during the layout process.
DTP services help us meet the exact formatting and structuring needed for various types of documents you need translated (e.g., SOPs, clinical protocols, drug labels), as per the target markets or languages, and meet your existing terminology glossaries or style guides.
