Language services for researchers

Translation, transcription, editing, proofreading, localisation and interpreting for medical, clinical and research-related work.

Language services for researchers

Around 95% of our work is clinical and health research. We understand the terminology, the documentation and the deadlines that come with ethics submissions, trials and publication.

Editing and proofreading clinical research documents
01

Translation

Clinical and medical research documents: informed consent forms, ethics submissions, trial protocols, patient information leaflets, case report forms, questionnaires, surveys and research articles for publication.

02

Editing

Clearer, more consistent text, reviewed by an experienced editor.

03

Proofreading

A final check before your document is submitted, published or filed.

04

Localisation

Adapting content for a specific language and audience, so it reads naturally in the local context.

05

Transcription

Accurate written records of interviews, focus groups and proceedings.

06

Interpreting

Spoken language support for interviews, meetings and research sessions.

How we work

Every project follows the same four steps, with security and consistency built in.

Step 1

Scope and research

We review industry-specific terminology and your glossaries before the project starts.

Step 2

Native translation

Subject-matter linguists translate into their native language.

Step 3

Independent review

A senior editor proofreads the text against agreed quality criteria.

Step 4

Final checks and delivery

Automated and manual checks before the file reaches you.

Confidentiality

Your files stay protected

Client files are processed on encrypted cloud servers and handled under non-disclosure agreements.

Technology

Consistent terminology

Translation memories and client glossaries, using CAT tools such as SDL Trados.
