Translations for the pharmaceutical industry
Pharmaceutical translations for clear processes and international markets
oneword provides pharmaceutical companies with the translation of pharmaceutical, clinical and scientific content. Consistent terminology and structured translation processes reduce the amount of coordination work required, simplify final verification processes and facilitate provision in other languages and markets.
Translations that fit your workflows
In the pharmaceutical industry, content is produced for various specialist departments and target audiences. Clinical and scientific documents have different requirements in terms of language and terminology than patient information leaflets, product information or marketing materials.
At the same time, updates often need to be implemented in a way that is traceable across multiple documents and language versions. Inconsistent terminology, a lack of context or manual transcription can lead to queries, additional verification steps and unnecessary rework.
oneword therefore combines professional pharmaceutical translations with structured translation processes. Terminology, reference materials and project-specific guidelines are taken into account and made available throughout the entire translation process. This ensures your teams receive consistent content that is in line with the technical context, the intended use and the relevant approval process.
These clients put their trust in oneword:

Pharmaceutical, clinical and scientific content
The translation output must take into account the function of a text. Trial-related documents focus on scientific contexts and consistent technical terms. Information of relevance to patients must remain easy to understand, even when the content is complex. Digital and system-based texts also require the appropriate context and need to be suitable for further technical processing.
Typical content:
- Patient information leaflets and pharmaceutical product information
- Clinical trials, trial reports, questionnaires and findings
- Medical literature and scientific publications
- Product descriptions, information materials and marketing copy
- Websites, software interfaces and other digital content
oneword takes into account terminology, target audience, context of use and existing reference materials. This ensures that key terms remain consistent across related documents and language versions. Your specialist departments can focus on reviewing the content rather than correcting recurring linguistic inconsistencies.

Language data for faster updates and less repetitive work
Terminology management and translation memories make approved technical terms and previously translated content available for use in future projects. Recurring sections of text do not need to be fully reprocessed each time. This reduces the amount of work and costs involved and makes it easier for consistent changes to be applied across documents, product variants and language versions.
Appropriate interfaces and digital workflows can reduce the need for manual transfers between editorial, content and translation systems. oneword offers translation processes in accordance with ISO 17100 and post-editing in accordance with ISO 18587. Machine translation with professional post-editing or AI-assisted methods are only suitable if the content, target audience, risk and quality assurance requirements are appropriate.
Standardised processes for recurring pharmaceutical projects
Dedicated contact persons keep track of project requirements, terminology and agreed processes. For follow-up orders, you won’t need to explain the technical context or your requirements from scratch every time. This streamlines approval processes and makes it easier to coordinate updates, additional languages and recurring document types.

FAQs
What sort of content does oneword translate for pharmaceutical companies?
Content that oneword translates here includes patient information leaflets, pharmaceutical product information, clinical trials, reports, questionnaires and medical findings. Specialist medical literature, research papers, information and marketing materials, as well as digital content can also be handled.
How does oneword cater for different target audiences?
The linguistic approach depends on the type of text, how it will be used and the intended audience. Scientific documents require a different linguistic approach to that taken for information of relevance to patients or product communication.
How can terminology be kept consistent across multiple documents?
Approved technical terms are systematically recorded in terminology management and made available during the translation process. This solid basis is supplemented by translation memories containing previously translated text segments, which helps to ensure consistent processing of subsequent versions.
Can existing systems and translation processes be integrated?
Translation workflows can be adapted to existing systems and data exchange formats. Interfaces and automated steps help to reduce the need for manual file transfers and enable content to be processed more effectively once the translation has been produced.
Is MTPE suitable for content from the pharmaceutical industry?
MTPE can be an efficient option for suitable pharmaceutical content. Key factors include content type, risk, terminology, data pool, target audience and quality assurance requirements. Content that is sensitive or particularly complex requires a correspondingly thorough technical and linguistic review. We conduct a feasibility analysis to assess whether content is suitable for this process.
