Pharmaceutical and medical translations

Sometimes translations are not just useful business aids but important tools for making sure that critical operations are carried out successfully and accurately. Such is the case with pharmaceutical and medical translations. In such cases, it is essential that the translator chosen is an expert in the field in which he will be translating. An error in translation for such topics could be life-threatening.

Adelphi Translations has been providing such medical and pharmaceutical translations for years – from manuals for the operation of life-saving equipment to the recommendations for drug use for doctors and medical professionals. We have a pool of tried and tested medical translators specialising in many different fields of medicine.

Urdu website translation: right to left languages

Translating your website into Urdu is a little more tricky than standard left to right languages. Urdu, Urdu, Dari, Farsi, Hebrew and Kurdish are all right to left languages and this will mean some formatting of the layout to make it work in the Urdu language. Also if you are designing a website in English that you know is to be translated into Urdu, right to left issues should be taken into consideration in the design stage.

How much of the site should we translate into Urdu?

Often it doesn’t make sense and maybe very expensive to translate the whole site into Urdu. If there are regularly updated sections such as ‘News’ or maybe a blog, in which new content is frequently added, it will make sense to exclude this from the Urdu translation. You can create an effective series of ‘mini-sites’ in Urdu which contains the main content of your site.

Navigating your translated websites — to flag or not to flag?

Many companies like to use flags to show the languages their website is translated into. Using a flag from any Urdu speaking country is only appropriate if your target audience is in that country. Urdu is spoken mainly in Pakistan and India.

Many companies like to use flags to show the languages their website is translated into. Using the French flag is common but bear in mind that some languages are spoken across boundaries and if you are aiming for a generic translation then flags would be less appropriate.  For example, French in Europe is spoken in France, Belgium, Monaco, Andorra and Switzerland.

French Website translation: Text expansion

When translating your website into French one of the things you have to consider is that the French language is much longer than English. If you are designing a website in English that you know is to be translated into French, text expansion should be taken into consideration in the design stage.
