Medical translations for reports and findings

When medical records are needed in another language, the specialist subject, context and recipient matter. Enquire individually about translating clinical letters, findings or reports and specify the language pair and intended use.

Request medical translation

Non-binding enquiry. We clarify the specialist requirements, scope and next steps with you.

Medical documents for a defined recipient

A clinic abroad, insurer or particular authority may request medical records in another language. Identify the recipient and the documents required. This helps establish whether the assignment concerns one report or a connected medical history.

This service concerns translation between languages. If you need a German-language report explained in everyday language, ask the treating medical professional. Diagnosis, treatment decisions and medical assessment are not translation services.

Keep abbreviations, units and context complete

Supply complete reports with dates, units and any explanation of abbreviations. Translation must not fill missing or illegible details with assumptions. Questions about unclear source material need clarification from the original record.

Documents to describe in your enquiry

Clinical and discharge letters

Identify the medical field and relevant periods. References to previous findings should remain traceable.

Findings and investigation reports

Laboratory, examination and operation reports need complete tables, units and dates.

Clarify particular requirements and the necessary data scope before sending sensitive documents.

Information for the initial review

  • The medical field, language pair and recipient or target-language region.
  • The reports or pages actually needed and the purpose of the translation.
  • File readability, approved terminology and questions about abbreviations.
  • The requested deadline and requirements for certification, output files or additional copies.

Questions about medical translations

Can you translate a medical text into another language?

Describe the document type, specialist subject and language pair in your enquiry. We assess the requirements and suitable handling before confirming an assignment.

Will you explain a clinical report for a non-medical reader?

This page offers translation between languages. Discuss an explanation of findings, interpretation of values or treatment recommendations with your treating medical professional.

Can missing or illegible details be completed?

No. Supply a better copy or a corrected version from the issuer where possible. Unclear source information must remain identifiable or be resolved through a question.

Is a medical translation automatically certified?

No. Provide the recipient’s specific requirement. The need for certification and its form are clarified before the assignment.

How should I prepare confidential records?

Ask which documents are needed for review and raise particular requirements before transmitting them. Then provide only the agreed records and pages.
