Pharmaceutical and Medical Science Translation Service

Collaborating with both internal and external experts forms the foundation of medical translations that align with the evolving demands of the industry.

Adam (Marketing & Communications Officer)

We are involved in translating a broad spectrum of fields, which gives us a distinct advantage.

At Chris Translation, we specialize in medical translation, delivering expert services in various medical fields.

While we cover a broad range of translation genres, this diversity is actually one of our strengths.
Foreign language proficiency and basic pharmaceutical knowledge alone are often insufficient for precise medical translations.

Our in-house translators specialize in various fields such as chemistry, mechatronics, computing, and international legal affairs, including patent expertise. When faced with unclear descriptions or unfamiliar terms during the translation process, we can directly consult with these experts, ensuring that every translation is based on a deep and accurate understanding.

Our department handles medical equipment translations, which require multidisciplinary knowledge. While we recognize the importance of staying competitive with companies specializing in medical translation, we also focus on enhancing our expertise. Translating documents related to new drug approval processes, for example, requires a solid understanding of the application documents submitted to regulatory bodies like the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare or the FDA.

Although we do not prepare application forms or related materials, we believe that accurate translations can only be produced by fully understanding the purpose of the documents and the regulatory requirements they must meet.

Kieth (Regional Head of Projects)

I aslo hold study mettings on my own.

In the pharmaceutical industry, international harmonization has been a growing trend, particularly with the guidelines established by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), a collaborative effort involving Hong Kong, the US, and the EU. This movement has significantly accelerated the globalization of pharmaceutical companies’ activities, especially in their development processes. Staying updated with these global trends is essential for accurate translation. Relying solely on newspapers or websites is insufficient. I actively organize study sessions and participate in industry meetings, exchanging insights and building a professional network with peers to stay informed. Having previously worked in the scientific division of a multinational pharmaceutical company, which operated across Hong Kong, the US, and Europe, I was involved in translation and facilitating communication related to new drug development, sales, and marketing. This role not only kept me well-informed but also fueled my desire for knowledge as I contributed to the commercialization of new drugs. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience that continues to shape my approach to translation. Medical translation, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector, is one of the most critical and demanding fields. Unlike other areas where errors may be less consequential, a mistake in medical translation can have serious, life-altering implications. At Chris Translation, we ask: would you entrust such sensitive translations to a novice? Our team of expert medical translators, guided by deep industry knowledge, offers unparalleled services tailored to your specific needs. We believe that healthcare and human life demand the highest respect and accuracy. Every document we translate undergoes rigorous quality assurance, including multiple rounds of editing, proofreading, and, in some cases, testing through focus groups to ensure precision. Medical translation involves challenges that go beyond linguistic expertise. It requires an in-depth understanding of specialized medical terminology and evolving concepts that may not yet have equivalents in the target language. With Chris Translation, you can trust that our experience and dedication will provide you with reliable, high-quality translations that meet the highest industry standards.
