Medical & Pharmaceutical Translation

Why is it important to work with a medical translator?

Medical translations leaves no room for error. A mistranslated term can lead to serious risks for patients or healthcare providers. That’s why at Mediwords, medical translation services company, our translators are not only fluent in both source and target languages—they’re also trained in the specific language of medicine, regulations, and clinical documentation. Entrusting your texts to a specialist ensures accuracy, compliance, and patient safety.

Can you provide official or certified medical translations?

Yes. We work with specialised translators who are authorised to produce certified translations for official purposes. These can be used for visa applications, insurance claims, medical litigation, or immigration procedures. Documents such as medical letters, test results, or discharge summaries can be delivered with a signed declaration or official stamp, as required by the relevant authority. We treat all documents with strict confidentiality.

When is a certified translation required for medical documents?

Certified translations are usually required when a document is to be submitted to legal or governmental bodies—such as immigration authorities, embassies, or healthcare regulators. This includes documents used for travel, resettlement, insurance, or legal cases. In these instances, translations must be completed by an accredited translator and meet the specific formatting and validation standards of the target country. We’ll guide you through the process.

Which languages do you cover?

We provide medical and pharmaceutical translations in over 60 languages, including French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese. Every translation is handled by a native speaker of the target language with subject-matter expertise, ensuring that the content is not only accurate but culturally and contextually appropriate. Looking for a rare language? Contact us—we’ll do our best to help.

How are translation costs calculated?

Our pricing depends on the document’s complexity, length, target language, and whether certification is needed. Standard medical translations typically start from €0.13 per word. Fixed pricing is available for short or repeat documents, such as medical certificates. Urgent or certified translations may include a supplement.
