Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about how we work? Explore quick answers about our medical translation services and how we ensure accuracy in every project.

1. Does LingArch provide certified medical translation services in multiple languages?

LingArch delivers certified medical translations across 120+ languages with the support of 1,500+ accredited linguists. Every project follows ISO 17100 workflows, ensuring clinical accuracy and regulator-ready output. Over the years, we have worked with global pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organisations and medical communications agencies by providing highest quality translation services.

2. What quality procedures does LingArch follow to ensure accuracy in medical translations?

Each project is managed under a strict four-step QA system: initial translation by a native-speaking medical linguist, review by a second certified translator, validation by medical editors followed by a final round of proofreading to ensure the translations are accurate and thoroughly checked.

3. How are LingArch’s medical translation services compliant with NHS and healthcare regulations?

All translations adhere to NHS guidelines for UK healthcare providers and align with international frameworks like ICH-GCP for clinical trials, EU MDR for medical devices, and FDA/EMA/MHRA requirements. This ensures that informed consent forms, case report forms, drug labels, and discharge summaries meet both local and global regulator standards.

4. Does LingArch use native-speaking translators for medical content?

LingArch works exclusively with native-speaking translators who also have academic or professional backgrounds in medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology, and life sciences. This ensures translations are not only linguistically precise but also clinically accurate, supporting patient safety and regulatory compliance.

5. Does LingArch use glossaries for projects that involve multiple languages?

Yes. For multi-language projects, we create or ingest a client-approved glossary/termbase and pair it with translation memories for each language. Critical terms are locked, “do-not-translate” rules are applied, and terminology QA checks keep usage consistent across updates and document sets.

6. How does LingArch ensure compliance with GDPR and patient confidentiality requirements?

We operate under GDPR-compliant workflows and strict data protection protocols. Files are transferred via encrypted platforms, handled only by NDA-bound linguists, and access is restricted to authorised staff. Sensitive data like patient records, prescriptions, and lab reports are always secured, ensuring complete confidentiality.

7. Does LingArch provide Desktop Publishing services for projects that require translations to be incorporated into Design Files?

Yes. Our in-house multilingual DTP team works in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, FrameMaker, Photoshop (and office formats like PowerPoint/Word). We handle text expansion, right-to-left and double-byte scripts, font management, and final linguist layout checks to deliver press-ready PDFs and native source packages.

8. Does LingArch have production teams in different time zones in order to cater time sensitive projects?

Yes. We operate a follow-the-sun model with teams across multiple time zones, enabling 24/7 coverage and accelerated turnarounds. Weekend/holiday coverage can be arranged under agreed SLAs.

9) Do you provide voice-over and subtitling services for medical projects?

Yes. We provide medical-grade voice-over and subtitling in 100+ languages for e-learning, patient education, device tutorials, investigator training, and more. Recordings are studio-quality, NDA-bound, and terminology is aligned with your approved glossary; every file undergoes linguistic and technical QC.

10. What kinds of documents do you translate in the medical domain?

We translate a wide range of medical documents including patient records, consent forms, prescriptions, trial protocols, device manuals, and regulatory submissions. Whether it’s for hospitals, CROs, or pharmaceutical companies, our medical document translation services ensure accuracy and compliance every step of the way.

11. Are your translations accepted by NHS and global health authorities?

Yes. We follow NHS guidelines and international standards like ICH-GCP, US FDA, EMA, and MHRA. Our healthcare translations are certified and accepted by public hospitals, clinical bodies, and regulatory agencies worldwide—ensuring zero rejection risk.

12. Do you offer certified, notarised, and regulator-compliant translations?

Absolutely. Every translation can include a signed certificate of accuracy. If required, we can also provide notarisation for legal, immigration, or government use. These certified documents are often used in clinical trials, visa applications, and patient referrals abroad.

13. What makes LingArch a trusted medical translation agency?

With over 17 years of experience, ISO 17100 certification, and 1,500+ linguists, we’ve served NHS trusts, CROs, private clinics, and pharma brands across 50+ countries. Clients trust us for fast, secure, and compliant medical translation services that never cut corners.

14. How secure is your process for handling patient information?

Security is non-negotiable. We use encrypted file transfers, NDA-bound translators, and GDPR-compliant processes. Sensitive data like EHRs or lab reports are only handled by authorised linguists, with no risk of breach or misuse.

15. Do you provide medical interpretation services for hospitals or clinics?

Yes, we offer both onsite and remote medical interpretation services in 120+ languages. These include simultaneous or consecutive interpretation for surgeries, consultations, and therapy sessions—delivered by linguists trained in clinical communication.

16 Can you handle multilingual projects with fast turnaround times?

We can. Our team handles large-scale, multilingual translation projects with quick turnarounds—2,500 to 3,000 words per linguist per day. For urgent needs, we deploy multiple linguists and QA experts to meet your deadlines without quality compromise.

17. Do you support software or app translation in healthcare?

Yes. We translate UI/UX content for medical software, EHR systems, and patient apps. Our linguists also perform linguistic validation and functional testing to ensure seamless patient experience in every language.

18. Can I get a quote before sharing sensitive data?

Of course. You can request a preliminary quote by describing your project, file types, and target languages. For final pricing, we recommend sharing documents via our secure upload portal to assess complexity and word count precisely.

19. What is your review and quality assurance process?

Every project goes through a four-step QA process: review by a second linguist, validation by a medical expert, editing for clarity and consistency, and optional certification. This ensures every translated document is precise, compliant, and submission-ready.
