Life Science Translation Services

We translate a wide range of legal documents for law firms, corporate legal departments, government organizations, and businesses operating across languages and jurisdictions. Our legal translation services can support:

• Patient Materials
• Drug Packaging And Labeling
• Manufacturing SOPs & Production Manuals
• User Manuals
• Patents And Contracts
• Instructions For Use (IFU)
• Genetic Testing
• Pharmacology & Toxicology Reports
• Scientific Journal Articles and Research Texts

We match each project with linguists who have relevant legal and subject-matter expertise, ensuring that terminology, meaning, tone, and context are accurately preserved.

In addition to translation services, Language Connections provides high-quality interpreting services at large events like biomedical conferences, or for smaller-scale events like clinical trials and medical appointments.

Translation pricing is generally calculated on a per-word basis, which varies depending on the language pair, the complexity of the subject matter, and the required turnaround time. Other factors influencing cost include desktop publishing (DTP) needs and whether you have an existing Translation Memory (TM).

Timeline depends entirely on project volume, complexity, and technical requirements. On average, a professional translator can accurately translate and review about 2,000 to 2,500 words per day.

For urgent projects, we can deploy multiple translators working concurrently alongside a dedicated editor to ensure consistency while meeting tight deadlines.

We create customized solutions based on your content, industry, goals, timeline, and quality requirements. Our professional linguists provide the human expertise needed for accurate, culturally appropriate translations, while we intelligently leverage AI and machine translation technologies when they are the right fit for a project. This approach allows us to improve efficiency and manage costs while maintaining the quality, consistency, and oversight your content requires.

Consistency is especially important in legal translation, where a change in terminology can affect how a document is interpreted. Language Connections can develop and maintain client-specific glossaries and terminology databases containing approved translations for legal terms, organization names, product names, and other key language. Combined with Translation Memory and quality-assurance tools, these resources help maintain consistency across documents, projects, and target languages.

All our translators and project managers operate under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Furthermore, your documents are processed using secure, encrypted file-transfer protocols and private translation management environments.

ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). Our adherence to these standards means we follow strictly audited, repeatable processes for vendor qualification, project management, and error prevention so you receive a consistently high level of service and accuracy on every project.

We work with linguists who have relevant life sciences expertise and experience across areas such as:

• Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals
• Clinical research and clinical trials
• Medical devices
• Regulatory and compliance documentation
• Scientific research and publications
• Patient-facing materials
• Pharmaceutical and medical product information
• Technical and instructional documentation

We match each project with linguists whose expertise aligns with the scientific subject matter, language pair, regulatory requirements, and intended audience. This specialized approach helps ensure that complex life sciences content remains accurate, consistent, and clear across languages and markets.

We accept virtually all file formats, including:

• Standard Business: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF
• Design & Layout: Adobe InDesign (.indd), Illustrator, Photoshop
• Web & Software: HTML, XML, JSON, XLIFF, and Po files

You do not need to convert your files to plain text before sending them to us.

Yes. Language Connections can provide certified translations for documents that require certification for submission to government agencies, courts, educational institutions, immigration authorities, and other organizations.

Certification requirements can vary depending on the receiving organization and intended use of the document. We can work with you to determine the appropriate translation and certification requirements for your project.

We employ a multi-tiered quality assurance process modeled after international standards:

1. Project Analysis: Project manager assesses the scope and specs of the project.
2. Production: Translation produced by a native-speaking industry specialist.
3. Post-Production: A second independent linguist checks for accuracy, tone, and grammar.
4. Client Review: Project manager takes client feedback and makes changes accordingly.

Yes. Our translation processes are designed to comply with the regulatory frameworks of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and legal court systems globally. We provide the necessary certifications of accuracy required for regulatory submissions and legal compliance.

Our intake process is simple and streamlined:

1. Submit Your Files: Upload your documents through our secure portal and specify your target languages and deadline.
2. Receive a Quote: We analyze the text and provide a transparent, fixed quote and timeline.
3. Launch: Upon your approval, we assign a dedicated Project Manager and team of specialized linguists.
4. Delivery & Feedback: We deliver the finalized, ready-to-use files and adjust based on any internal review feedback you may have.
