Why are medical translations important?
Communication in the health care and medical sector is vital and often a matter of life and death, so medical information must be translated accurately. With so much at stake, it is essential to use a professional medical translation agency and not rely on machine translations.

To ensure that healthcare services are available to all UK residents and to improve patient experience accurate medical translations are needed. Our experienced service provides certified translations of a wide range of medical and health care documents.
Quality medical translations for documents such as hospital discharge letters can include instructions for the use of medication or other medical information, so it is essential that this is accurate.

How much does medical translation cost per word?
The cost of medical translation from Espresso Translations starts at £30 plus VAT for a certified translation. If a notarised, legalised or sworn translation is required, the prices will be slightly higher due to the added involvement of public or court officials.
For documents such as medical reports, pharmaceutical leaflets, or health insurance paperwork you will be charged a fixed rate which will be detailed in your free quote. There are no hidden fees and the price that you are quoted is the price that you will pay.
Some factors may influence the final cost of your translated documents including the length, complexity, and formatting of the text. Rare languages or unusual language combinations can increase the cost and expedited delivery will incur an extra fee.
Whether you access publicly funded health care or private medical services, you will pay the same amount for our services, clients in private healthcare are not charged more. All our prices are competitive and we can get a quote to you in an hour so you know exactly what you will be paying.

How long does medical document translation take?
Espresso Translations offer a 48 hour turnaround for most certified translations with the option for expedited services of 24 hours or same day delivery. Sworn, notarised and legalised translations will take longer as the documents need to be verified by court or public officials.
Other factors that can extend the time it takes to complete your medical document translation include:
- Length of document
- Specialised text
- Formatting
- Language pair
Bear in mind that translation services for medical documents involve precise medical terminology which needs to be faithfully and accurately translated so some documents may take longer than others. We will always let you know what a realistic timeframe is for your translation project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a medical translator and a medical interpreter?
A medical translator works with written documents such as medical records, insurance documents, or research papers. In essence, if a medical text requires changing from one language to another, for example Italian to English, it is done by a medical translator.
An interpreter translates the spoken word from one language to another such as in medical discussions between people speaking different languages. Translation and interpretation are disparate skillsets, requiring separate training and are rarely done by the same person.
How do I choose the right medical translator for my needs?
Depending on the medical translation that you require, we can offer a wide range of professionals to meet your needs. Our team of qualified translators include those with extensive experience in the medical field who can translate a variety of texts and documents.
With a clear quote and fast turnaround time, Espresso Translations provide all you will need to complete your medical translation project.
Can you use google translate for medical translation?
It is possible to use certain apps such as Google Translate for everyday situations but it is not recommended for a medical translation. Medical terminology is complex and most apps will not translate them accurately.
It is preferable to use a professional translation agency for any medical or clinical translations to ensure precision and clarity.
