Avoid preventable delays
Common medical translation mistakes
A few checks before ordering can prevent missing context, unclear figures, unsuitable certification and avoidable delays.
Sending only part of the record
Terminology and chronology may continue across pages, so missing content can affect context.
Using blurred or cropped images
Small figures, medicine names, handwritten notes and dates may become unreadable.
Not explaining the intended use
Personal, clinical, insurance and official submissions may need different formats.
Assuming certification requirements
Check whether the recipient needs professional, certified, notarised or another form of translation.
Leaving too little time
Large records and complex reports require time for translation, formatting and final checking.
Reformatting the source yourself
Send the original document clearly so its headings, tables, notes and references remain visible.
