Specialist Medical Translations for Regulated Markets
We translate life sciences, medical device and pharmaceutical content where accuracy isn’t optional. Terminology control, native medical expertise and rigorous QA ensure your materials stay compliant, consistent and ready for approval worldwide.
At Anglia Translations, we recognise that in the medical, life sciences, and pharmaceutical sectors, precision is critical. Your documents often contain sensitive information that impacts patient safety, research integrity, and regulatory compliance, so translations must be handled by experts with real medical or scientific backgrounds.
Our medical translation services are trusted for their accuracy, reliability, and attention to detail. We work exclusively with qualified translators who ensure your clinical trial documents, post-mortem examinations, and research papers meet the highest standards. Certificates of accuracy can also be provided where required for regulatory compliance.
We have extensive experience translating complex clinical trial materials, including multi-centre, randomised, double-blind studies. For highly sensitive content, we often recommend back translation to verify consistency and ensure absolute precision, helping you meet the strict demands of international regulators.

FAQs
Q. How quickly can you translate medical documents?
Turnaround times for medical translations depend on the volume, complexity and languages involved. On average, a professional translator can translate approximately 2000 words per day, with additional time required for proofreading and quality assurance.
At the enquiry stage, we will agree a clear deadline with you and ensure all projects are delivered within this timeframe. We aim to respond to all enquiries within the same working day, allowing us to begin planning your project timeline as quickly as possible. This fast response means we are well positioned to support urgent requests and provide clear guidance on timelines from the outset.
For urgent or large-scale projects, we can allocate multiple linguists and project managers to meet tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy and compliance.
Q. How do you ensure compliance with medical regulations?
Compliance is critical in medical translation, where accuracy and clarity are essential for patient safety and regulatory approval. We work with specialist linguists who have in-depth knowledge of medical terminology and regulatory requirements across different regions. Many of our translators have medical or life sciences backgrounds, allowing them to accurately interpret complex content and ensure it meets industry standards.
To ensure compliance at every stage, we follow a detailed and structured process:
- Initial content and regulatory review – assessing the document type, intended use and any country-specific regulatory requirements
- Specialist linguist assignment – selecting translators with relevant medical expertise and experience in the specific field (e.g. clinical trials, medical devices, pharmaceuticals)
- Accurate translation and localisation – ensuring terminology, tone and phrasing are appropriate for both the medical context and the target region
- Terminology validation – applying approved glossaries and checking consistency of key medical terms across all documents
- Independent proofreading – A second linguist reviews the translation to verify accuracy, clarity and compliance. Back translation or regulatory review is completed if required.
- Final compliance checks – ensuring formatting, labelling and regulatory elements meet the required standards before delivery
With over 30 years of experience, we follow strict quality assurance processes throughout to ensure complete accuracy and provide an additional layer of verification. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, meaning we follow robust quality management systems to ensure all translations are accurate, consistent and fully aligned with relevant medical regulations.
Q. How do you ensure accuracy, reduce risk and protect sensitive medical data?
Medical translations require the highest level of precision, as even minor errors can have serious consequences. We work with experienced, native-speaking linguists who have specialist medical knowledge to ensure all content is accurate, clear and appropriate for its intended use. Our process includes multiple levels of review, terminology checks and quality assurance to minimise risk and maintain consistency across all documents.
We also understand the importance of confidentiality when handling sensitive medical information. All documentation is managed securely within our systems, and we follow strict data protection procedures in line with GDPR requirements. We use secure tools and processes throughout, ensuring your data is protected at every stage of the translation process while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
Q. How much does medical translation cost?
The cost of medical translation depends on factors such as word count, complexity, language pair and the level of accuracy required. Highly technical or regulatory content may require specialist expertise, which can influence pricing. Costs are typically calculated on a per-word basis, starting from approximately £0.10 per word.
We offer flexible service levels depending on your requirements, and can advise on the most suitable approach for your project, ensuring the right balance between accuracy, compliance and budget.
