Translations for the biotechnology sector
Professional translations for research, regulatory approval and international markets.
Professional translations for regulatory documents, clinical and scientific documentation, as well as digital content – using structured processes to ensure short turnaround times, consistent terminology and predictable costs.
A large volume of documentation, tight deadlines, different markets
Content is produced in the fields of research, regulatory approval, quality assurance and medical documentation – often in parallel, and often in several languages at the same time. Anyone who is still coordinating translations manually or failing to manage terminology centrally is wasting time that then isn’t available for other tasks. Structured translation processes combine terminology, responsibilities and final verification. This reduces the time and effort required for coordination, cuts turnaround times and makes it easier to plan submissions more reliably.

From clinical trials to approval
Biotechnology content is thematically complex, heavily regulated and often integrated into regular update cycles. Without structured workflows, every update results in rounds of manual coordination work, which take time and create additional sources of error.
Typical content:
- Research and development documentation, laboratory notes and scientific reports
- Pre-clinical and clinical trial protocols, investigator’s brochures and clinical study reports
- Approval documents and regulatory submissions for international authorities
- Scientific publications, posters and presentations
- SOPs, quality documents and GMP-relevant documentation
- Software and system interfaces for laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and digital research platforms
Processes that cut costs and speed up final verification tasks
What really takes the pressure off biotechnology companies in their day-to-day project work are well-designed processes. oneword focuses on automated handover procedures, the reuse of existing language data and AI-supported processes, which are applied wherever they are appropriate in terms of content and regulatory requirements.
Machine translation with post-editing (MTPE) can reduce turnaround times and cut costs – for content where the document type and requirements allow it.
Core regulatory documents are always processed and checked by professional translators. Our processes are certified in accordance with ISO 17100 and ISO 18587. This ensures that key work steps, areas of responsibility and quality control processes are bindingly regulated.
Dedicated contact persons who are familiar with your projects
Biotechnology development projects can take months or even years to complete. At oneword, you’ll work with dedicated contact persons and well-established teams of translators who are familiar with your terminology, document structure and workflows. This reduces the need for clarification, speeds up final verification and gives you planning certainty – even when deadlines are tight.
Trust delivers results.

"What really impresses us as a global company in our day-to-day work is the consistently high quality of the collaboration. AI translation using MTPE not only works well for us from a technical point of view, but also delivers reliable results when it comes to content. The connector between our CMS and oneTask, in particular, substantially enhances efficiency – so processes run stably and much more smoothly. It saves time and gives us peace of mind in our day-to-day operations."

Language data, system integration and scalability
Content that has already been translated can be selectively reused for updates, thereby delivering direct and measurable cost savings. A centrally managed terminology database ensures technical terms are used consistently across documents, languages and departments.
System links to editorial and document management systems enable direct transfers without the need for manual intermediate steps. If you expand into new markets or languages, you can benefit from existing language data.

FAQs
Can oneword also process regulatory submissions for several markets at the same time?
Yes. Simultaneous submissions across multiple markets require coordinated translation processes, consistent terminology and synchronised scheduling. oneword helps you set up translation workflows so that documents for different regulatory bodies can be processed simultaneously and delivered on time.
How can specialised terminology be kept consistent across all documents?
Via a project-specific terminology database, which is set up and maintained in collaboration with you. Technical terms are defined once and made available to all translators for mandatory use. This prevents discrepancies in terminology between the trial protocol, approval application and product insert.
We already have in-house translations and glossaries. Can these be integrated?
Yes. Existing translation memories, glossaries and terminology lists can be integrated directly. This allows you to build on existing language data whilst ensuring that new content remains consistent with it.
Is machine translation suitable for biotechnology content?
That depends on the type of document. MTPE may be useful for internal communication and certain standard texts. At oneword, key regulatory documents and clinical trial reports are always handled by professional translators. We will work with you to assess suitability.
How can translation processes be integrated into existing document management systems?
oneword supports integration into common editorial and document management systems. Content is transferred and incorporated directly – without any manual intermediate steps and without requiring any additional coordination effort from your teams.
