Precision Extends Beyond Terminology
High-quality scientific translation requires control over the complete meaning, structure, data, and audience context of the source—not simply individual terms.
Preserve Scientific Meaning
Mechanisms, methods, findings, comparisons, limitations, qualifications, interpretations, and conclusions must retain the same scientific relationships across languages.
Control Terminology & Nomenclature
Medical terminology, scientific vocabulary, product and compound names, abbreviations, acronyms, approved terminology, and organization-specific language need disciplined handling.
Protect Data Integrity
Numbers, measurements, units, percentages, statistical expressions, symbols, tables, figure labels, captions, references, and cross-references require structured QA.
Write for the Intended Audience
Researchers, physicians, HCPs, technical teams, educators, collaborators, and selected patient audiences require different levels of terminology, explanation, and readability.
Maintain Cross-Document Consistency
The same evidence may appear in a manuscript, abstract, poster, presentation, scientific summary, and educational resource. Terminology and scientific statements should remain aligned as content is reused.
From Research to Global Scientific Communication
Scientific knowledge evolves across a connected content lifecycle. Translation should support that continuity rather than treating every document as an isolated project.

Medical & Scientific Translation FAQ
These questions explain how specialized scientific translation differs from general translation and when a dedicated regulated Sesen workflow may be more appropriate.
Discuss Your Scientific Translation NeedsWhat is medical and scientific translation?
Medical and scientific translation is the specialized translation of content involving medicine, healthcare, research, life sciences, scientific knowledge, and technical subject matter. It can include scientific manuscripts, research reports, abstracts, posters, presentations, laboratory documentation, medical education, technical scientific content, and related materials. Unlike general translation, these projects often require subject-matter understanding, specialized terminology, careful handling of quantitative information, and awareness of the intended scientific or professional audience.
What types of medical and scientific content does Sesen translate?
Sesen translates research manuscripts, journal articles, abstracts, scientific posters, presentations, research reports, laboratory documentation, R&D materials, technical scientific content, disease-state education, HCP materials, training resources, and other specialized life sciences communication. When content belongs to a more specialized clinical, regulatory, safety, medical-device, Medical Affairs, or linguistic-validation workflow, Sesen can route the project through the appropriate dedicated service.
How is scientific translation different from general translation?
Scientific translation requires more than linguistic fluency. Translators may need to understand specialized terminology, scientific concepts, mechanisms, methodology, quantitative information, abbreviations, nomenclature, data presentation, and the conventions of the target audience. The objective is to preserve the meaning and relationships within the underlying science, not simply produce fluent target-language text.
How does Sesen select translators for specialized scientific content?
Sesen can match professional language resources according to the source and target languages, scientific subject, therapeutic or technical domain, document type, intended audience, intended use, and project requirements. This helps align translator and reviewer expertise with the actual content rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all definition of medical translation.
Can Sesen translate scientific manuscripts, abstracts, posters, and presentations?
Yes. Sesen supports manuscripts, journal articles, abstracts, posters, slide decks, visual scientific materials, research summaries, and related assets. Where multiple materials are based on the same research, terminology resources, reference content, translation memory, and approved language can help maintain consistency between related multilingual documents.
How does Sesen maintain scientific terminology across related content?
Terminology management can incorporate client glossaries, previously approved translations, scientific publications, existing reference materials, product terminology, style guidance, and reviewer feedback. Approved terminology and translation memory can then be reused across related documents, languages, and future revisions where appropriate.
Does Sesen use AI for medical and scientific translation?
Sesen uses advanced translation technology and AI-assisted tools where appropriate to support terminology, content reuse, consistency checking, numerical QA, completeness, and workflow efficiency. Professional human expertise remains central to decisions involving scientific meaning, context, terminology, ambiguity, audience appropriateness, and final linguistic quality. The workflow can be adapted according to content complexity, intended use, confidentiality, risk, and client requirements.
What is the difference between Medical & Scientific Translation and Medical Affairs Translation?
Medical & Scientific Translation is the broader service for specialized scientific, research, technical, publication, and educational content across the life sciences. Medical Affairs Translation is designed specifically for organized Medical Affairs workflows such as scientific exchange, field medical communication, MSL materials, advisory boards, KOL engagement, medical information, publications programs, congress support, HEOR/RWE, and related global activities.
When should content use a specialized clinical, regulatory, device, safety, or validation workflow instead?
The translation workflow should reflect the content's primary use. Clinical trial documents are best handled through Clinical Trial Translation Services; regulatory submissions and health authority documentation through Regulatory Translation Services; device IFUs and labeling through Medical Device Translation Services; drug-safety content through Pharmacovigilance Translation Services; and patient-reported instruments requiring formal validation through Linguistic Validation Services.
Translate Scientific Knowledge With Confidence
Your scientific content represents research, expertise, evidence, and investment.
