Life Science translations require specific subject matter experts, processes, and technology to provide accurate, culturally sensitive translations and meet regulatory requirements. Mistakes pose risks to patients, as well as delays in getting the product to market.
Life Science translation services are critical to the companies who manufacture and develop medical devices, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical products as well as those that support clinical trials in those industries, such as CROs (clinical research organizations) and IRBs (institutional review boards). Translations must be in strict compliance with legal and regulatory agencies in the U.S., European Union, and elsewhere.
Translating for Life Sciences includes both accurate linguistic translations, ensuring the translation is culturally appropriate, and meeting regulatory requirements. To assure the highest levels of translation accuracy and target audience comprehension, BURG’s life sciences linguists use a number of proven translation techniques such as cognitive debriefing and back translation.

Typically a partner of medical and pharmaceutical companies, CROs provide services related to research, development, and clinical trials. CROs specialize in providing services specific to clinical trials, accurate and timely documentation translation is essential. Given the nature of CROs and their need for efficient, low cost, high quality translations, CROs typically outsource their translation needs. Our Life Sciences linguistics translation experts adhere to a comprehensive set of guidelines, regulatory requirements, and approval processes that are specific to clinical trials for the target region or country.
Medical devices must be accompanied by user manuals, technical specifications, software interfaces, etc. in the target language of the area they are being launched. Given that regulations and standards differ between countries, medical device materials must be translated in adherence to the country’s specific standards, regulations and legislations, while being culturally appropriate. At BURG we consistently deliver medical device translations that comply with the regulations, standards, and culture of the target country.
The dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry makes quality pharmaceutical and biotech products and services translation a growing necessity. Since pharmaceutical offerings can have adverse and dire effects, medications undergo strict approval processes before being introduced to the market and this requires a high degree of precision in translating the specifications and instructions. All members of the BURG translating team hold at least one university degree and have, at a minimum, five years’ experience as dedicated Life Science translators.
