Why Raw Machine Translation Fails on Medical Content
Here's the thing: generic tools translate sentences. Medical content needs a system that remembers your approved terminology, protects your data, and knows when a qualified human must check the result.
Approved terminology, every time
In pharma, terminology is not a style preference. Approved product names, active ingredients, and regulated phrasing have one correct rendering per market. Taia locks them in a glossary and reuses your approved sentences from translation memory, so what was approved once stays approved everywhere. Medis found the suggestions accurate enough to save 30% of their translation time.
Qualified review for regulated content
A mistranslated contraindication is a patient-safety issue. For leaflets, labels, and regulatory documents, ISO 17100-certified linguists experienced with medical and pharmaceutical content verify the translation, with a second revisor on the Enhanced and Ultimate tiers.
Confidentiality and data protection
Medical content is sensitive by default. Your documents are handled in a GDPR-compliant way, processed exclusively in AWS eu-west-1, and never used to train AI models. A confidentiality agreement can be signed before the project begins.
Whole documents, in context
Taia's AI translates the full document in context instead of sentence by sentence, so "administration" in a leaflet reads as dosing, not paperwork. It learns your terminology and style over time, which is exactly what recurring product documentation across 15+ markets needs.
Match the Right Approach to Each Document
Start with how much risk each document carries: self-serve AI for internal and high-volume content, professional linguists for anything regulated or patient-facing. Mix and match.
AI Translation
Self-serveSubscription-based and instant. Best for high-volume, lower-risk content: internal documents, product descriptions, and drafts your own team reviews in the built-in CAT editor. This is how Medis translates daily across 15+ markets, 30% faster than before.
Standard AI

Life-Sciences Teams Already Run on Taia
A pharmaceutical commercialization partner and a veterinary manufacturer, real numbers from both.
Why Medis Pharma chose Taia over the biggest player on the market
Medis commercializes innovative pharmaceuticals across 15+ markets, which means in-house translation in just as many languages. They had already tried the market leader's tool and found it too complex. On Taia, their translators were productive after a single onboarding session and cut translation time by 30% during the 14-day trial, with translation memory ending the manual hunt through old documents for approved phrases.
"Taia's translation editor significantly speeds up my translation process and makes it easier. It truly delivers better, faster, and higher-quality translations." Tina L., Translator & Proofreader, MedisRead the Medis case study →
Millpledge Veterinary cut the unnecessary steps out of translation
Millpledge manufactures veterinary products including licensed pharmaceuticals, where translation quality is non-negotiable. Their old process ran on email: days before a translator even started, then formatting fixes after delivery. On Taia they upload a file, get a quote within minutes, pick a guaranteed delivery date, and receive the translation back in the same format. Only translators with veterinary experience are assigned to their projects.
"I'm extremely happy with the support they provide as well as their outstanding customer service." Graham P., Graphic Design Manager, Millpledge VeterinaryRead the Millpledge case study →

Frequently Asked Questions
What are medical translation services?
Medical translation services convert medical and life-sciences content, including pharmaceutical documentation, patient information, clinical materials, and regulatory submissions, from one language to another while keeping medical terminology exact. Unlike general translation, medical translation carries highly specific vocabulary where a wrong dosage unit, contraindication, or ingredient name is a patient-safety issue, not a typo. That is why it demands specialist linguists, a locked glossary, and a documented quality process like ISO 17100.
Why is raw machine translation risky for medical content?
Generic tools like Google Translate work sentence by sentence with no memory of your approved terminology, so the same active ingredient or product name can be rendered differently across one document set, and dosage or warning phrasing can drift. Taia translates whole documents in context, applies your glossary and translation memory so approved terminology stays fixed, and routes regulated content through ISO 17100-certified linguists experienced with medical and pharmaceutical material.
Which medical and pharmaceutical documents do you translate?
Taia translates product information and package leaflets, summaries of product characteristics, labels and packaging text, clinical study documentation, patient-facing materials and informed-consent forms, standard operating procedures, quality and pharmacovigilance documentation, medical device instructions for use, veterinary product documentation, and marketing content for healthcare brands. Medis, a pharmaceutical commercialization partner active in 15+ markets, translates their product descriptions and medical content through Taia every day.
Do your linguists have medical and pharmaceutical experience?
Yes. Professional projects are assigned to native-speaking linguists experienced with medical, pharmaceutical, and life-sciences content, working within an ISO 17100-certified process. For regulated documents we recommend the Enhanced tier (translator plus revisor) or Ultimate tier (translation, editing, and proofreading) so a second qualified linguist verifies terminology before delivery.
How do you keep medical terminology consistent across markets?
Three linguistic resources work together: a glossary that locks approved terms, product names, and regulated phrasing to one translation per language, a translation memory that stores and reuses every sentence you have already approved, and a style guide that keeps tone and conventions consistent. All three apply across AI translation, your own team edits in the CAT editor, and professional linguist projects, so a term approved once stays approved everywhere.
Is my data safe? We handle sensitive medical content.
Your content is handled in a GDPR-compliant way, processed exclusively in AWS eu-west-1 (EU hosting), and never used to train AI models. Access is limited to the linguists and team members working on your files, and a confidentiality agreement can be signed before a project begins.
How much does medical translation cost?
AI translation is subscription-based, starting free with 5,000 credits/month. Professional translation by ISO 17100-certified linguists runs from €0.06 to €0.15 per word depending on quality tier and language pair. Because pharmaceutical documentation repeats heavily across products and markets, translation memory reuse brings the effective per-word cost down over time on professional projects.
How fast can you translate pharmaceutical documentation?
AI translation is ready in minutes with formatting preserved, and professional review typically adds 24-48 hours depending on volume and language pairs. Multiple target languages run in parallel, which matters when a product launches in many markets at once. You also get an instant quote with a delivery date up front: Millpledge Veterinary switched to Taia partly because their old email-based process took days before a translator even started.
