& Pharma Translation

Pre-launch data, clinical outcomes and competitive marketing materials are commercially sensitive. Every project is managed under NDA, with access restricted to the project team and files handled securely throughout. We are experienced in the confidentiality requirements of major pharmaceutical companies and apply those standards as a matter of course.

Translation transfers meaning accurately from one language to another. Transcreation goes further, adapting the creative concept, tone and persuasive approach so the content works in the target market rather than simply existing in it. Pharma marketing content often requires transcreation: a campaign that works in English may not carry the same clinical authority or emotional appeal in French or German without significant creative adaptation. We do both and advise which approach each project needs.

Yes. European and global drug launches routinely require simultaneous translation into multiple languages, each version consistent with the others and accurate for the professional audience in that market. We manage multilingual projects through a single account manager, with shared glossaries and translation memories ensuring consistency across every language version.

Regulatory and clinical trial translation is a highly specialised discipline with its own compliance requirements and quality standards. It is not our area of focus. Our expertise is in pharma marketing, medical publishing and life sciences communications content for professional audiences. If regulatory translation is what you need, we can point you towards specialists in that area.

Yes. Drug monographs and clinical white papers are among the most technically demanding documents we handle. Length, density and the need for absolute consistency throughout make them a significant project management challenge as well as a linguistic one. We build a comprehensive glossary before translation begins and apply it across the entire document, including any future updates or revisions.

Yes. Promotional content for HCP audiences is one of our core areas of work. Leave pieces, detail aids, congress materials and medical education content for professional audiences all require a linguist who understands both the clinical subject and the promotional context. We have worked on HCP-facing content for clients including Bayer and GE Healthcare.

Yes. We select linguists for healthcare and pharma projects on the basis of subject knowledge as well as language skills. A linguist translating a cardiology leave piece needs to understand the clinical argument, not just the terminology. We match every project to a linguist whose background fits the therapy area and the type of content involved.
