A multi-site trial generates paperwork in every language it touches

Run a study across several countries and the regulatory file fills with documents that have to be read by people who do not speak the language they were written in:

• Informed consent forms and patient information sheets
• Ethics committee and institutional review board approvals and correspondence
• Study protocols, amendments and investigator brochures
• Case report forms, source documents and patient diaries
• Serious adverse event reports and safety narratives
• Investigator agreements, CVs and site qualification documents

Informed consent is the document that has to be right

Everything else in the file is read by professionals. The consent form is read by a patient deciding whether to take part, and it is the one document where being comprehensible matters as much as being literal — which is exactly why a sloppy translation of it is both an ethical failure and a regulatory one.

We render it faithfully, at the reading level the original is pitched at, with risks stated as plainly as the source states them. Nothing is softened, and nothing is dramatised: a risk that reads as remote in the original must not read as likely in English, or the consent obtained on the basis of it is not informed.

Consistency across a file that grows for years

A trial file is not a document, it is an accumulation: protocol, then amendments, then safety reports referring back to both. Terminology has to hold still across all of it — one rendering per endpoint, per adverse event term, per procedure — or a reviewer comparing an amendment against the protocol finds differences that were created by the translator rather than by the sponsor.

We keep a glossary per study and apply it across everything we translate for it. Where a sponsor already has an approved terminology list, send it and we will work to it.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
