Translation

We have worked with more than 20 clients in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, with our longest relationship spanning over 39 years. Our clients include companies working in the fields of biotechnology, clinical trials, reproductive health, pharmacology, diagnostics, medical education and therapeutics, as well as personal hygiene and healthcare.

Our clients value the expert skills and experience of our medical and pharmaceutical translators, some of whom have previously practised as medical professionals. They all maintain up-to-date knowledge of medical and pharmaceutical terminology and recognise the importance of crucial resources such as EMA templates and other authorised texts.

We offer an additional back-translation service to support our own quality-control process and that of our clients. We can also certify our translations to meet our clients’ internal audit requirements.

Accuracy in legal documentation is essential and the potential consequences of a poor-quality translation don’t bear thinking about.

At Wessex Translations, we understand what’s at stake. We appreciate that legal translation is as much about understanding the concepts of two or more different legal systems as it is about language skills and knowledge of complex legal terminology.

Our translators are experienced legal specialists, with backgrounds in, for example, company and contract law, European legislation, intellectual property, international trade, litigation, maritime law and witness statements. They all work into their mother tongue and are familiar with the appropriate legislation in the countries concerned.

When you are making a push to go global with your brand or product, there is a lot hanging in the balance. So don’t risk undermining your carefully prepared marketing strategy or media campaign with a poor translation that fails to engage properly with your local audience.

Our translators can strengthen your position on the international stage. Some of the world's leading companies trust us to localise their marketing material – with consistently positive results.

Our marketing translators are hand-picked for their engaging language style and industry know-how – as well as for their foreign-language expertise. This ensures that your advertising material, brochures, websites and press releases retain their potency and always hit the mark.

We are experienced in using a variety of creative software applications to fit your needs. If your marketing material has been created in software such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, FrameMaker, PageMaker or QuarkXPress, our typesetting team can ensure that our translations are returned to you, ready to print and looking just as polished as the original.

Our long-term relationship with the European institutions is a testament to our outstanding quality and professionalism. We won our first contract with the European Parliament in 1997 and over twenty years on we still translate thousands of pages each year for various EU institutions, earning us a reputation for excellence that we are extremely proud of.

Superior quality assurance and attention to detail is key to translating for the European institutions. Our in-house team have perfected their meticulous quality control practices to be able to ensure our translations meet the high standards expected of us.

In addition to translation quality, we also satisfy requirements in terms of adherence to best practice and style guides, as well as maintaining high levels of confidentiality, which we know is so important to many of our clients.
