Patient safety first

In medicine, a translation error is a patient risk

When a consent form, a patient record, or a clinical protocol is translated, there is no margin for approximate. A single mistranslated dosage, instruction, or history can lead to misdiagnosis, a regulatory rejection, or serious harm to a patient.

Healthcare, research, and insurance organizations carry liability with every document they hand off in another language. Get it wrong and the cost is not a redo. It is a delay, a denied filing, or a person harmed.

What protects patients and your organization is certified translation built to the standard regulators, courts, and insurers require, performed by people who know the clinical language.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.

Will regulators and insurers accept a certified translation of my patient records and clinical protocols?

Yes. Medical certification adds a signed accuracy certificate stating the English version is true and complete, plus guaranteed acceptance for regulators, courts, and insurers. If an authority ever raises an issue with a record or protocol, we revise it at no extra cost until it is accepted.

What does it cost to translate consent forms, medical records, and research papers?

Non-regulatory medical content like research papers and patient education runs $0.09 per word. Certified translation of regulated documents such as consent forms, patient records, and clinical protocols is $24.10 per page.

Pricing is flat and shown before you order, so you can budget a full project without surprise line items.

Do your translators handle clinical and ECFMG terminology accurately?

Yes. Patient records, ECFMG translations, and clinical trial protocols are assigned to native-speaking translators with medical backgrounds, so dosages, diagnoses, and procedure terms read the way clinicians use them.

Every order also includes unlimited revisions, so you can refine any term until the document reads correctly and safely.

Can you keep terminology consistent across a set of clinical trial documents?

Yes. For multi-document trial work, we keep drug names, endpoints, and procedure terms consistent from the protocol through the device documentation and patient materials. Unlimited revisions let us align any term with your internal glossary so the whole set reads as one voice.

Are confidential patient records kept secure during translation?

Yes. Patient records and other sensitive medical documents are handled under strict confidentiality, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement, and files move through secure transfer. Every translator on medical work is bound by confidentiality requirements.

How fast can you turn around medical device documentation and patient records?

Certified patient records and regulatory submissions are delivered within 48 hours. Standard per-word work, such as device documentation or a clinical file that needs extra review, is scheduled around the size and complexity of the document set, so we confirm a delivery date up front, and expedited handling is available when a submission deadline is tight.

Which languages do you cover for patient and regulatory documents?

We translate medical work across 120+ languages, so one provider can handle patient records, consent forms, and research for every population and market your organization serves.
