Medical Translation
Clinically accurate, handled with care
ABOUT
Medical translation carries the highest-stakes error category on this site — a mistranslated dosage, diagnosis or allergy note is a patient-safety issue, not a wording preference. Medical records are also special-category personal data under GDPR, so handling discipline matters as much as linguistic accuracy. Independent second-linguist review is standard practice for every order in this category specifically, on top of the general review method used across the site.
This service serves clinics, health-tech companies and pharma teams translating documentation, and individual patients transferring care — bringing medical records into or out of Norway for a new doctor, a specialist referral, or an insurance claim. Whichever side you're on, the same confidentiality and data-handling statement applies to your files.

PROCESS
How this service works
- 01Order — choose your unit and language pair, add to cart.
- 02Translate — routed to a specialist in this subject area.
- 03Review — an independent second linguist checks it.
- 04Deliver — digital by default, stamped hard copy on request.
Every medical order is reviewed by a second linguist as a fixed step, not an add-on — this applies regardless of urgency or price tier.
Tell us at intake if the record needs to reach a specific receiving clinic's format expectations, so we can flag anything unusual before delivery.

FAQ
Service FAQ
Who actually sees my medical records?
Only the translator assigned to your order and the independent reviewer — both bound by our confidentiality practice. Files are handled under our data-handling statement and are not retained longer than necessary; see Privacy for retention detail.
Can you certify a medical translation for an authority?
Yes — add certified status at checkout, or contact us if your document also needs notarisation. The independent-review step still applies on top.
Do you sign confidentiality agreements for clinics and health-tech companies?
Yes, on request — contact us before ordering if your organisation needs a signed NDA in place first.
What if the handwriting or scan quality is poor?
A poor-quality or non-editable source carries a 15% surcharge, applied openly at the time of ordering — we'll flag it rather than guess at unclear terms.
