Requirements & Challenges
The collaboration between Medeuronet and My Language Connection began in March 2020, and we’ve become a vital partner in the development of some of their clients’ projects. Our first project was the translation of Patient’s Informed Consents. After providing a reliable and quality driven service, Medeuronet relied on us shortly after to translate another Informed Consent to participate in clinical research studies.
Our Approach & Solution
The collaboration between Medeuronet and My Language Connection began in March 2020, and we’ve become a vital partner in the development of some of their clients’ projects. Our first project was the translation of Patient’s Informed Consents. After providing a reliable and quality driven service, Medeuronet relied on us shortly after to translate another Informed Consent to participate in clinical research studies.
My Language Connection helped Medeuronet to translate Informed Consents and feedback questionnaires for patients to enable the trial participants to fully understand the protocol of the study they were partaking in.
As the translation of patient consent forms can be a sensitive task, the group and location ethics and how the group’s culture can impact their ethics, and interpretation of what is being asked of them, it can be a challenge to get this right but with the help of our experienced medical human translators, we were able to fulfill Medeuronet’s needs, enabling them to distribute culturally and ethically accurate translations that their patients fully understood.
This helped toward the successful running of their trials and allowed the required data to be gathered which was needed to move onto the next phase of their project; another step closer to market!

With over 60% of our quote requests in 2018, so far, being from companies who are looking to have tender submissions translated, we saw an increase in this requirement, and started some research of our own to understand how important it really is to have your tender bids translated and the impact it can have in winning that contract. We found that a requirement of The European Commission’s,...
The Chinese New Year 2021
When thinking about your translation project, one of the points you need to take into consideration is the public holidays in the target market country. Is the launch or shipping of your product going to fall on a public holiday? Does your product allow for time to be spent in a container waiting to clear customs while the target country observes their holidays? When organising to exhibit your products/services in your desired target market...
Localisation: what you need to know
For applications that provide the user with a personal and often fairly intense experience such as websites games or marketing material, you need to do more than just translate - you need to localise. What does this mean? Know your audience Basically, localisation is translation plus full adaptation to the target culture and the target market. Let's start with translation itself. You have your website or game translated into the target...
Expansion and Contraction in Translation: Why You Need to Be Aware
Not all languages are built the same way, and not all languages say the same things in the same way. A phrase that’s short and pithy in one language may be long and rolling in another. There are even times when a simple word in one language will have no real equivalent in another language -- requiring instead, a not-so-simple explanation. And when you’re dealing with translation, this can make a major difference. Page Layout Whether it’s a...
What makes a translator qualified?
Whilst there is no universally-recognised international certification for translators and professional linguists, most nations have established standards for translation, whether by law, or through semi-official bodies such as the UK’s Chartered Institute of Linguists, also known as the IoL. This is a practical as well as a cultural necessity, since accurate translation is crucial in business, as well as matters of civil, criminal and...
