MEDICAL TRANSLATION SERVICES by Evgeni Kushch
WHERE MEDICAL AND CLINICAL EXPERTISE MATTERS DECISION-MAKING ALGORITHM FOR INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY Source industry-specific terminology We all understand the importance of translation, especially when it comes to health and well-being. Today, medicine is one of the fastest growing and innovative industries with every passing day ushering in new technological developments and complicated new terminology. Such terminology may confuse an expert, to say nothing of translators. This is a critical point where translation quality hangs in the balance at the intersection of a translator's industry-specific education, experience and skills on the one hand and extensive knowledge and experience in the field on the other. It is essential for translation to be performed by specialists who understand the nature of the underlying process and structure. This is why despite having a medical degree and clinical experience I have built a support team consisting of medical and clinical specialists who can advise me on specific issues in my medical translation projects. This is my formula for delivering the best translation possible. YES YES Industry-specific education and experience are enough to directly translate and localize terminology NO Industry-specific education and experience are enough to help find a solution in the literature NO Field expert consulting Successful LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 YES Very difficult and or/complex terminology Successfully localized industry-specific terminology Discussion of possible options with the client LEVEL 4 2
