Why Clinical Trial Training Translations Matter

Accurate and accessible training materials are critical to the success of global clinical trials. Whether onboarding clinical sites, educating internal teams on protocol amendments, or guiding patients and caregivers on study participation, each type of training requires clear, consistent communication across languages and regions.

Sesen provides end-to-end training translation services tailored to the needs of sponsors, CROs, sites, and vendors. Our solutions cover all stages of clinical development and comply with ICH-GCP, EMA, FDA, and PMDA expectations for multilingual documentation.

From translated SOPs and eLearning modules to localized onboarding decks and instructional videos, we help trial teams deliver high-quality, culturally adapted training that reduces risk, supports audit readiness, and contributes to operational excellence and patient safety.

Human-Centered Translation with Advanced AI Support

Sesen combines advanced AI tools with the expertise of professional clinical linguists to deliver accurate, efficient, and contextually appropriate translations for training materials used in global clinical trials. Our approach balances automation with quality oversight to meet the strict demands of regulatory environments and multilingual study teams.

Our proprietary SesenGPT engine accelerates the translation process by pre-aligning terminology with existing glossaries, protocol documents, and regulatory references. This ensures faster delivery of training content while maintaining consistency across modules and documentation sets.

Every translation is reviewed by native-language professionals with clinical research experience. In-context validation ensures that the meaning, tone, and technical accuracy of each element are preserved, particularly for high-impact materials such as eLearning modules and investigator training manuals.

We support content formatted for all major eLearning and learning management systems, including Articulate, Adobe Captivate, Moodle, and others. This enables smooth deployment of translated modules across global sites without requiring additional technical rework.

Training Material Localization Workflow

Sesen follows a structured and quality-driven workflow to deliver accurate, regulatory-compliant translations for clinical training materials. Each step is designed to ensure linguistic consistency, cultural relevance, and seamless integration with your learning platforms and training delivery systems.

We begin by reviewing the source files and confirming the project scope, target languages, and delivery requirements. Our team assesses technical specifications, content type, and regulatory expectations to define timelines and resource allocation.

Our linguists extract domain-specific terms and align them with sponsor-approved glossaries and therapeutic-area references. Terminology consistency across modules and documentation is critical for training clarity and compliance.

Content is translated by professional linguists who are native speakers of the target language and have clinical research expertise. Each translation undergoes rigorous quality assurance by medically trained reviewers to verify accuracy and contextual relevance.

We adapt translated content for eLearning modules, presentations, and training videos, maintaining visual integrity and formatting for compatibility with SCORM, HTML5, or print-based layouts.

Translated materials are submitted for client review and, if applicable, in-country validation by local teams. This step ensures cultural appropriateness, regulatory alignment, and approval by study stakeholders.

We deliver the finalized materials in the required output formats, ready for deployment through your learning management system or as printed documents for investigator meetings and on-site training.

Compliance and Quality Assurance

Sesen delivers clinical trial training translations that meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance and quality assurance. Our workflows are built to support sponsor audits, regulatory inspections, and internal quality controls while ensuring that all translated materials remain accurate, consistent, and inspection-ready.

All training material translations align with ICH-GCP guidelines and follow sponsor-specific standard operating procedures. This ensures that content meets global clinical research requirements and is fully acceptable for regulatory review.

We maintain a structured review process that incorporates feedback from client stakeholders and medical experts. Every revision is logged in an auditable trail, providing complete transparency and traceability from draft to final approval.

Our version control system supports seamless updates to training content in response to protocol amendments, regulatory changes, or sponsor-driven revisions. This ensures that all global trial sites receive updated, language-specific materials without delays or inconsistencies.
