Documents and situations we support

Pharmaceutical translation covers more than patient leaflets. Different documents serve different audiences and approval workflows, so we clarify the intended use before work begins.

• Product information drafts and medicine leaflets
• Pharmacovigilance narratives and safety summaries
• Manufacturing specifications and stability reports
• Quality agreements and distributor correspondence

A patient information leaflet calls for clear and consistent instructions; a technical variation dossier needs exact terminology and cross-references. Tell us which market and reader the document is intended for and provide approved wording when available.

What matters for an accurate translation

Drug names, dosage strengths, units, adverse-event terminology, contraindications and pack identifiers must not shift in translation. Abbreviations that appear harmless in a laboratory report can be dangerous in patient-facing text. We flag ambiguous terms for clarification instead of making clinical assumptions.

Regulated submissions often come with controlled templates and version histories. Share source revision numbers, terminology lists and any approved product vocabulary, and tell us whether the deliverable is for internal review, a regulator or publication.

A practical project example

A UK manufacturer needs a French translation of a quality agreement and a German version of a technical product summary. The agreement must preserve obligations and references; the summary must preserve formulation names and measurement units. Both need consistent product terminology, but a different style of review.

Translation is not regulatory authorisation or medical approval. A suitably qualified reviewer on the client side should approve clinical and country-specific labelling before use.

How we manage your translation

1. 01Review the brief

   First, we examine the full file, language pair, intended use and any written instructions. We check page order, legibility, tables, names and whether the recipient asks for certification, a particular file format or physical originals.

2. 02Translate and check

   Next, the translation is prepared to preserve meaning and the critical details that make this document useful. Consistency checks focus on figures, terminology, annotations, references, dates and missing passages. If the source is ambiguous, we ask for clarification rather than inventing content.

3. 03Agree the deliverables

   Before delivery, we agree whether a PDF, editable file, signed declaration or printed copy is needed. Notarisation, sworn translation and apostille services may be separate; the receiving authority decides acceptance.
