Life Sciences and Medical Translation Services
In the past 20 years, Idem Translations has become one of the industry leaders in the medical device and life science sectors. We offer certified translation of all scientific, technical and marketing materials into and from all the major languages.

Medical Translation

Idem works with translators, editors, and specialists with extensive backgrounds in medicine, pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences, and engineering. We specialize in the translation of the following types of materials.


  • Brochures and other marketing collateral

  • Clinical investigation dossiers (e.g. Protocols, Investigation Brochures, Informed Consents, Case Report Forms)

  • Declarations of conformity

  • Patents

  • Software applications for medical instrumentation

  • Specification sheets

  • User's manuals and Instructions For Use

    We have the unique ability to pull together qualified teams to work on these highly specialized projects. In addition, by maintaining specialized client glossaries and translation memory databases, we ensure maximum consistency of terminology. 

    As a result, revisions and repeated texts are easily identified and charges are reduced accordingly.

    Regulatory Approval

    With a thorough knowledge of regulatory requirements in Asia, Europe and Latin America, we ensure that translated documents are ready for regulatory approval.

    Foreign Affiliate and Independent Review and Approval

    Typically, when we begin our working relationship with a company, our glossaries of terms and our initial translations are sent to in-country foreign affiliate offices or foreign distributors to ensure that company specific terminology and internal requirements are followed. If desired, our project managers can coordinate the review process directly with your in-country colleagues while keeping you up-to-date on all developments.

    Desktop Publishing

    Our multilingual desktop publishing (DTP) specialists work in all major document publishing applications. You can expect translated documents that consistently and accurately reflect your originals in the format that best suits your needs.

    Quality Assurance and Certification

    All of our projects are proofed and edited. Linguistic and formatting reviews are also performed after the DTP stage to ensure that no errors have been introduced during the DTP process. All final translations are accompanied by a certification of accuracy.

    Project Management

    Our Project Managers are dedicated professionals who work with you and your customized translation team. They expedite the flow of work, ensure consistency from one project to the next by using the same translation teams and applying translation memory tools. They make sure that your projects are completed on time, and act as your liaison to our translation and DTP teams.

    Our Project Managers have a thorough knowledge of the translation and localization process as many are former translators and editors themselves.

    Web-based Account Management

    My Account, our online management service, lets you request new translations, download completed translations, check project status, and exchange messages  with our Project Managers 24 hours a day.
