Precise and appropriate use of terminology is the key component of observational and interventional clinical trial translations. Language translation has a huge role to play, both pre- and post-trial. Designing, implementing, and reporting on clinical trial programmes requires in-depth knowledge of how different terms are combined to create technical content. Clinical trial papers and guidance documents often involve a blend of medical, statistical, and administrative terms. Such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) document Guidance for Use of Bayesian Statistics in Medical Device Clinical Trials. Our expertise, commitment to producing materials of the highest quality, and fast turnaround service enable us to provide support to our clients whenever they need it.
The globalisation of clinical trials is a trend that presents one of the biggest challenges in clinical research. The differences between global regulatory systems for ICH countries such as the United States and non-ICH countries like China and India can significantly affect total spending and affect research outcomes. There are variations in trial protocols and patient follow-up practices for instance. Diversity is another major challenge. Patient and doctor behaviours and beliefs vary considerably across continents. Cultural values, social differences, and semantics all affect behaviours. We take all the influencing factors into account when producing translations. An incorrect or culturally bankrupt translation of a patient information brochure can have far-reaching medical and legal consequences for pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and patients. The worst-case scenario is patient fatality. We support our clients by keeping ourselves informed of and being sensitive to, current key issues and challenges involved in conducting global clinical trials. Our expertise, coupled with pioneering memory translation software, enables us to give our clients a first-class, cost-effective service. As we create your materials, the software selects repeated content and saves it for future use, which means you never pay for a translation twice.

Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!

Exceptional Service at a Great Price!
I had a fantastic experience with Absolute Translations. They were incredibly helpful and responsive in catering to my translation needs. Not only did they provide a professional translation promptly, but they also managed to notarise my documentation in a very short time, which saved me a lot of stress. On top of that, the cost was quite reasonable compared to other translation services I looked into. Their service was efficient, reliable, and highly professional throughout. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality translations or notarisation services.

Excellent translation of Greek Will at fair price
Marta Silva was incredibly helpful in providing a speedy and urgent translation of a Greek will so that we could apply for Probate of an estate in the UK. The translation was produced within 24 hours of instruction and was very professionally carried out with a Statement form the official translator. Despite additions Marta honoured the original quote. Will definitely use them again.
