Translations (About Us)

Life Sciences Industry Professional Translators

Our native linguists -translators, editors and proofreaders- have at least five years of experience translating literature for the life sciences industry. Many of them also have former or current careers in the industry, which ensures that your products and concepts are being understood and accurately translated. All linguists are tested following our stringent ISO 9001:2008-, ISO 13485:2003- and EN 15038-certified linguistic qualification processes, medical/pharmaceutical arena, translation speed, and translator reliability.

Use of Translation Memory Systems

TechLink International relies heavily on Translation Memory (TM) tools. Translation Memory should not be confused with Machine Translation – Machine translation is decades away from being sufficiently useful for any type of translation.

Translation Memory, on the other hand, is a database application technology. The TM system monitors the progress of translation in real time and memorizes each linguistic unit (sentence, phrase or block of text) with its translation. When the linguistic unit re-occurs, the TM tool notifies the translator and allows him to insert the saved translation if he so desires.

These translation memory systems can both increase the productivity of our translators and enhance the quality of their translation.

The use of translation memory leads to greater consistency, as the same phrases and terminology are translated identically throughout each revision of each document, even if different translators work on different portions of the document or revisions of the document. Translation memory can also significantly decrease the time spent translating, thus lowering the cost to the client and allowing quicker turnaround of translation projects.
