What can I do for you?

Translation

Are you looking for an expert to translate your specialized content? I speak the language of science.

Because of the serious consequences that an inaccurate translation or an inappropriate understanding of medical content can have, you need a professional who not only has exceptional knowledge of the subject matter, but also comprehends the nuanced complexities of the target language and culture.

In the Life Sciences industry, keeping up with the conventions and regulations governing each type of document is crucial for it to satisfy applicable regulations. I’ll ensure that the adequate terminology and phraseology is used in your texts to guarantee their approval by competent bodies.

Do you need to make sure that patients and study participants fully understand the information that is being provided to them? I’ll adapt the most complex terminology to plain and gender neutral language so that your intended audience fully understands it.

Revision

Do you need a second pair of eyes to guarantee that your translated material is faithful with respect to the original? I can help you verify that no parts of you message were lost during the process, that no changes of sense were made, that the terminology is suitable for the agreed purpose and intended audience, and that the applicable style guidelines and glossaries were applied. In addition to this, I’ll correct any spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes to ensure that the text is perfectly ready to be published.

Do you want to make sure that your vendor base meets the quality criteria required for your company to achieve ISO 17100 certification? I can provide assistance in bringing perfectionism to your company by preparing linguistic quality assurance reports and assessing test translations to confirm that you’re partnering with the best linguists on the market.

Proofreading

Is your text ready to be published in a journal but just needs a final check? Are you confused about when to use a semicolon or an en-dash? Don’t let the nuances of punctuation, spelling, or grammar put a damper to your text! I’ll help you polish the final version of your content.

Machine Translation Post-Editing

Are you looking for an expert way to take your machine translation from good to great? Do you need to make sure that your text meets regulatory requirements and is suited to the intended audience? I’ll help you make sure that the finer subtleties of language and culture haven’t been overlooked during the automated process.

Linguistic Vaidation

Are you looking to ensure the equivalence of meaning and suitability of your translated patient-reported outcome questionnaire? Whether it’s forward translation, back‑translation, or reconciliation, I can help guarantee the precision and accuracy of the translated version.

Terminology Management

Do you need to prepare a glossary or guideline to ensure consistent use of appropriate terminology and style throughout your projects? By leveraging my expertise in terminology extraction software and research skills, I can help you identify the most appropriate translations for your project. In addition, I will draft a clear set of usage rules tailored to the typographic and linguistic standards of the target language.
