- FAQ
Questions
Answered
How do you ensure accuracy in clinical trial translations?
Clinical trial documentation requires strict terminology consistency and regulatory precision. Our linguists specialize in healthcare and research environments and follow a structured review process aligned with ISO 17100 standards. Every project undergoes multi-step quality control to reduce risk and ensure accuracy across languages.
Can you translate informed consent forms (ICFs) for IRB submission?
Yes. We regularly translate informed consent forms and other patient-facing trial materials for IRB review. Our team understands the importance of clarity, cultural appropriateness, and regulatory compliance to support smooth approvals and participant understanding.
Do you support medical device documentation and labeling?
We translate instructions for use (IFUs), labeling, regulatory submissions, and technical device documentation. Our linguists work with consistent terminology databases to ensure alignment across user manuals, on-screen interfaces, and compliance materials.
How do you handle rare or hard-to-source languages in healthcare settings?
We work in over 100 languages, including rare and tribal languages often required for diverse patient populations or global trials. Our established network of vetted linguists allows us to maintain quality standards even in less common language pairs.
What is your process for urgent medical or research documents?
We understand that clinical environments operate on tight timelines. Our process ensures rapid response times and structured oversight, and we do not charge additional rush fees for time-sensitive projects.
