Healthcare Translation Services
HIPAA-Compliant, in 120+ Languages
Accurate, HIPAA-compliant healthcare translations in all languages — built to the standards that medical institutions and regulatory agencies require.
In Healthcare Translation, Accuracy Is a Matter of Life and Death
A mistranslated dosage instruction can endanger a patient. An inaccurate clinical trial consent form can expose your organization to liability. A poorly translated discharge summary can lead to a readmission — or worse.
Healthcare translation demands more than linguistic fluency. It requires medical expertise, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. Shortcuts, machine-only translations, or general-purpose translators without medical credentials are not acceptable — not when human health and institutional reputation are on the line.
What’s at Risk Without Professional Healthcare Translation
Auerbach International eliminates these risks — delivering medically accurate, regulatory-compliant translations prepared by credentialed healthcare linguists with advanced medical degrees and deep subject-matter expertise.

Our 6-Step Healthcare Translation Quality Process
Every healthcare translation project follows a structured workflow designed to meet the clinical and regulatory standards your organization depends on.
Expert Assignment
Your project is assigned to a healthcare translator with an advanced degree in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, or life sciences — and, for clinical trial work, specific therapeutic area expertise.
Secure, HIPAA-Compliant Intake
Files containing PHI are transferred via encrypted channels, accessed only by vetted team members assigned to the project, with BAAs executed for covered entities as required.
Translation & Terminology Management
Translation is performed using client-specific glossaries and translation memory so clinical and regulatory terminology stays consistent across every document and project.
Independent Medical Review
A second subject-specialized linguist reviews the translation for accuracy, consistency, and clinical appropriateness — independent of the original translator.
Final QA & Formatting
A final quality check verifies terminology consistency throughout the document and ensures the formatting matches the source layout.
Delivery & Certification
Final documents are delivered in your required format, with a signed Certificate of Accuracy or translator affidavit when required by submitting institutions or regulatory bodies.
Compliance & Security
Medical data is among the most sensitive information that exists. Patient privacy and data security are built into every step of our workflow.
Data Security & Privacy
- Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) executed for covered entities
- Encrypted file transfer for all files containing PHI
- PHI accessed only by vetted team members assigned to the project
- Files deleted from our systems upon project completion
- Processes compliant with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
- NDAs and confidentiality agreements signed before project commencement
Regulatory Expertise
