From Lab Bench to Global Market: Why Precision in Life Sciences Translation Saves Time and Lives

In life sciences, words aren’t just words — they’re instructions, safety warnings, and the bridge
between research and the people it’s meant to help. A mistranslated dosage can delay a study; a confusing manual can put a patient at risk. Getting the language right can be as critical as getting the science right.

At TranslationsInLondon, we’ve spent years working alongside researchers,
regulatory teams, and manufacturers. We’ve seen what happens when translation is rushed —
and the relief when everything lines up: submissions approved, devices launched, therapies understood.
This isn’t just swapping words; it’s protecting patients, meeting regulations, and helping breakthrough research cross borders.

Clinical Trials — Accuracy Under Pressure

Translating protocols, consent forms, and patient materials demands exact terminology and unambiguous meaning.
Even a small slip — a mistranslated unit or altered eligibility criterion — can delay a submission or derail a study.
Our linguists combine domain expertise with rigorous QA to keep your trial on track.

Medical Devices — Translation as a Safety Feature

Unclear device instructions risk non-compliance and user safety. Under
MDR regulations,
every label, manual, and safety notice must be crystal clear in each target language.
We pair native-level translators with real technical know-how, so instructions don’t just read well — they work in practice.

Gene Therapy — Translating the Future

In fast-moving areas like gene therapy, dictionaries rarely keep up. We collaborate with scientists to coin, validate, and standardise terminology across patents, journal submissions, and regulatory dossiers — so nothing is lost as your research crosses borders.

FAQs

How do you ensure clinical trial translations meet EMA/FDA expectations?

SME linguists, controlled terminology, and multi-step QA aligned to guidelines — with full traceability.

Are your device workflows aligned with ISO 13485?

Yes. We maintain ISO 13485-aligned processes, terminology management, and version control across languages.

Can you handle emerging terminology in gene therapy?

We work directly with researchers to coin and standardise new terms for consistency across documents.

The Bottom Line

Whether you’re running a trial, launching a device, or publishing research, precise translation is non-negotiable.
The right words save time, open markets, and sometimes, save lives.
