Built for approval

An error in a filing can delay an approval by months

Pharma runs on documents that agencies read word by word. A clinical trial protocol, a regulatory filing, a patient information leaflet, a product label. One mistranslation can delay an approval, create a patient safety risk, or trigger a significant financial penalty.

Few industries face the scrutiny yours does, and reaching a market hinges on language that is correct from the very first submission. Approximate is not a category that exists here.

Your timeline and your patients stay protected by certified translation that meets what regulators such as the FDA and EMA demand, done by linguists fluent in the language of compliance.

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.

Are your certified translations prepared for FDA and EMA drug approval filings?

Yes. Submissions for drug approval, the protocols behind clinical trials, and labeling on products are rendered to the level regulators such as the FDA and EMA expect, and each carries a signed certificate confirming accuracy.

If an agency raises an issue with the translation during review, we revise it at no extra cost, so a wording problem does not stall your submission.

What does it cost to translate clinical trial protocols and patient information leaflets?

Patient education, training, and marketing materials average $0.09 per word as professional translation. Certified files, such as approval submissions, trial protocols, and product labels, run $24.10 per page.

Pricing is flat and shown before you order, so a full regulatory dossier can be budgeted with no surprises.

Can you handle pharmacovigilance and clinical terminology correctly?

Yes. Clinical trial documentation, pharmacovigilance reports, and product labeling are assigned to native-speaking translators with relevant scientific and regulatory backgrounds, so technical terms read correctly to both reviewers and patients.

Every order includes unlimited revisions, so any term can be aligned with your approved terminology before submission.

Can you keep product labeling and leaflet terminology consistent across markets?

Yes. For multi-market filings, we keep drug names, indications, and warning language consistent across every product label and patient information leaflet. Unlimited revisions let us match your master terminology so the same product reads the same way in each region.

Are confidential clinical trial and regulatory documents kept secure?

Yes. Clinical trial documentation, regulatory filings, and patent filings are handled under strict confidentiality, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement, and files move through secure transfer. Every translator on pharmaceutical work is bound by confidentiality requirements.

Which languages do you cover for global drug filings?

We translate pharmaceutical work across 120+ languages, so one provider can support your filings, labeling, and patient materials in every market where you seek approval.
