Why US-based companies need pharmaceutical translation

Entering new markets with your pharmaceutical products, you will be required to translate all your materials into the local language. Not only will all the required paperwork for the approval process need to be translated, but also information related to drug testing in clinical trials, as well as your sales, marketing, and training materials.

Working with a qualified pharmaceutical translation company can:

• Allow you to submit patents internationally

• Help you disseminate target project profile and key market research for strategic decision making

• Obtain for you multinational clinical trial authorization for future market authorization and access

• Get you patient level access to multinational trial patient data

• Coordinate and standardize clinical trial operating procedures and protocols to allow for aggregated data analysis

• Raise awareness for your brand in a new market using marketing material

• Mitigate misuse and for government approval

• Relate to local customers and raise awareness to increase total market share

• Cultivate a global brand to gain credibility and take competing market share

Quality control for your translation project

The quality of the translators at BURG Translations is as important as the quality of our processes. We are certified in ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015, which holds our company and our team to the highest level of quality standards. Translators are not required to be certified, but we insist on the most rigorous standards for our work.

Each translation goes through three different sets of eyes: the translator, editor, and reviewer. and 3 different people. In many cases, translation companies only have one or two people working on a given translation. This is why they are noticeably cheaper. However, having three people look at a document significantly reduces the probability of a mistake reaching the client.

Using a unique Quality Management System (QMS), we follow specific procedures to ensure your pharmaceutical translation is accurate, correct, and up to par with your product. A third party auditor, as well as an internal BURG quality auditor, audit our translation processes each year.

Working in a highly-targeted industry means you need a language service provider that supports comprehensive research in highly targeted/specialized disease areas. We do just that by utilizing our highly specialized translators to provide access to foreign language published research to their R&D team.

You also want rapid drug development through consistent and accurate translations of clinical trial data for international data aggregation and analysis. We support global marketing and distribution as well as advanced maturity strategy though high quality translation and document design (desktop publishing) of marketing and training materials.
