WHY HEALTHCARE TRANSLATION ACCURACY MATTERS
In Healthcare Translation, Accuracy Is a Matter of Life and Death
A mistranslated dosage instruction can endanger a patient. An inaccurate clinical trial consent form can expose your organization to liability. A poorly translated discharge summary can lead to a readmission — or worse.
Healthcare translation demands more than linguistic fluency. It requires medical expertise, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. Whether you serve diverse patient populations, conduct multinational clinical research, or market medical devices globally, every translated document must be medically accurate, culturally appropriate, and compliant with applicable regulations.
Shortcuts, machine-only translations, AI-only translations, or general-purpose translators without medical credentials are not acceptable — not when human health and institutional reputation are on the line.
What's at risk without professional healthcare translation:
Auerbach International eliminates these risks.
delivering medically accurate, regulatory-compliant translations prepared by credentialed healthcare linguists with advanced medical degrees and deep subject-matter expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Translation
What qualifications do your healthcare translators have?
Our healthcare translators hold advanced degrees in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, or life sciences and have a minimum of ten years of specialized experience in medical and healthcare translation. Many are also credentialed translators (ATA-certified or equivalent). For clinical trial work, we assign translators with specific therapeutic area expertise.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance for patient documents?
We execute Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with covered entities as required under HIPAA. All files containing PHI are transferred via encrypted channels, accessed only by vetted team members assigned to the project, and deleted from our systems upon project completion. Our processes are fully compliant with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
Can you provide certified translations for FDA or EMA submissions?
Yes. We provide certified translations for regulatory submissions, including a signed Certificate of Accuracy and, where required, a translator affidavit attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the translation. We comply with the submission requirements of FDA, EMA, PMDA (Japan), Health Canada, and other major regulatory bodies.
What languages do you offer for healthcare translation?
We provide healthcare translation services in all languages, including Spanish, Chinese (including interpretations in Mandarin and Cantonese), Arabic, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Haitian Creole, Somali, and 100+ others. We can source credentialed medical translators and interpreters for any language pair.
How quickly can you turn around a medical translation?
Standard projects are completed within two to five business days. Rush delivery is available for urgent needs, including same-day and next-day turnaround for shorter documents. Turnaround depends on document length, language pair, subject matter complexity, and certification requirements.
Do you use AI or machine translation for healthcare documents?
For any document that will be used in patient care, regulatory submissions, or formal clinical proceedings, we use professional, subject specialized human translators as part of our process to guarantee accuracy. AI translation may be used as a starting point for large-volume internal projects but always include full editing and verification by a credentialed human medical translator.
