From medical device instructions for use and technical documentation to clinical research and patient-facing materials, vertaalkabaal! provides professional translations for the healthcare and life sciences industries.
Accurate medical translations. Specialized linguists. Reliable delivery.
01 / introduction
Our international network of specialized, native-language linguists helps organizations communicate complex medical information clearly and consistently across languages and markets.
Medical content demands a different level of attention. A small change in terminology can alter the meaning of an instruction, a clinical statement, or a product specification.
At vertaalkabaal!, we combine linguistic expertise with subject-matter specialization. Our translators work in medical and technical fields and understand the importance of accuracy, consistency, and appropriate terminology.
We work with medical device manufacturers, healthcare organizations, clinical research teams, and other life sciences businesses that need dependable translations for international audiences.
Whether your project involves a single document or an ongoing stream of multilingual content, we build the workflow around your requirements.

We believe high-quality medical translation depends on the right combination of people, processes, and communication.
Medical translation projects are assigned to professional translators with relevant subject-matter expertise. Our linguists translate into their native language and work with the terminology and conventions of their target markets.
Medical terminology must remain consistent across documents, languages, and product versions. We use client terminology, glossaries, style guides, and translation memories to support that consistency.
For medical and medical device documentation, our workflows can include an independent linguistic revision by a second qualified professional, in addition to terminology and technical checks.
A dedicated project manager coordinates the linguistic team, monitors progress, handles queries, and keeps your project on schedule.
We work with individual documents, large multilingual projects, and recurring translation requirements. Our processes can be adapted to your file formats, internal review procedures, and delivery schedules.
Clear, responsive communication is part of our service. You can discuss technical requirements, deadlines, and project details directly with our team, without unnecessary layers of administration.
04 / medical device feature
Precise documentation for complex products and international markets.
Medical devices present a particular translation challenge. Instructions, warnings, technical specifications, and user interfaces must communicate the manufacturer's intended meaning accurately to different users.
Regulatory frameworks such as the EU MDR and IVDR add further considerations, including requirements concerning information supplied with devices and the languages accepted in individual markets.
At vertaalkabaal!, we provide specialist translation services for medical device documentation, from initial product information to subsequent revisions and updates.
Our medical device services include:
05 / quality & workflow
Every project has its own requirements. Our approach is designed to combine specialist expertise with clear project management and appropriate linguistic quality controls.
We review the source material, target languages, intended audience, file formats, deadlines, and any specific terminology or documentation requirements.
For medical device projects, we also establish the relevant product context and any client-specified regulatory or market requirements.
We select linguists based on their language combination and relevant medical or technical expertise.
Where appropriate, separate professionals are assigned to translation and independent revision.
Existing client glossaries, approved terminology, reference materials, and previous translations are incorporated into the workflow.
For ongoing projects, terminology resources and translation memories help maintain consistency across future assignments.
The material is translated by a specialist linguist and reviewed according to the agreed quality process.
Particular attention is given to terminology, accuracy, completeness, consistency, warnings, measurements, and the intended readership.
Before delivery, the files undergo the agreed linguistic and technical checks, including formatting or structural verification where applicable.
The translated documents are delivered in the required languages and agreed file formats, ready for your internal review and approval.
