Medical Translation

Medical translation is a kind of translation that requires huge inputs of medical knowledge, as well as clinical and medical translation experiences. In addition, terminologies are highly customised and vary project by project, and that would require linguists to build a glossary list in prior to translating the document.

The cultural variation of terminologies also takes part in medical translation. Take the ingredient weighting unit as an example, some herbal ingredients used in Chinese medicines are weighted in “Liang” while most countries use “Gram”, when translating the document, the translator has to convert one unit to another so as to fit in to the local cultural practise. Without knowing the cultural differences serious outcomes could be triggered.
