Medical Translation & Life Sciences Content

Life Sciences

Medical translation leaves little room for “almost right”

A dosage instruction, a medical-device warning or a patient-facing explanation can fail for very different reasons, but ambiguity is never a harmless detail. Accuracy is where the work starts.

Patients do not read like regulators. Regulators do not read like clinicians. And a health campaign cannot be written as if its audience were reviewing an IFU.

That is why the work never stops at terminology: I want to know how the text will actually be used, and by whom, before deciding how it should read.

TransLABtion helps life sciences teams turn complex, high-stakes content into language people can understand, trust and act on.

What we can do for you

A patient leaflet may need plain language without losing medical accuracy. A medical device manual may need terminology to stay rigidly consistent. A public health campaign has room for creativity, but not for creative interpretations of the facts.

I have very little patience for technical language that hides behind complexity when the reader needs clarity. The job is to decide what can move, what must stay fixed and how much knowledge the audience can reasonably be expected to bring.

Research articles for publication
Package inserts, PIL’s, medical reports
User manuals for medical devices
Online training for HCP’s
Corporate videos
Product brochures
Product naming
Websites and apps
Advertising campaigns

That judgement is part of the work.

From medical and technical translation to websites, educational content, product communication and healthcare campaigns, the approach follows the audience, the risk and what the words are there to do.

01. Brand Voice and Cultural Adaptation

For brands that need to stay recognisably themselves when Spanish enters the picture.

02. Translation and Transcreation

From specialist precision to creative freedom, depending on what the message needs.

03. Copywriting and Content

Original words for the brand, the audience and what needs to happen next.

Why TransLABtion

In life sciences, precision is not an embellishment. It is the baseline.

Specialist training, 15 years of professional experience and subject-matter knowledge sit behind the language — with clear communication treated as part of quality, not an optional extra.

What that means for you

01.

Less back-and-forth

When the person working on the language understands the sector and the brief, the right questions come earlier and projects move with less friction.

02.

Review with a reason

Not every text needs the same level of checking. The review follows the stakes, the audience and what the content has to do.

03.

Words that belong

The finished text should work for the people reading it and still feel true to the brand or organisation it comes from.
