Medical Device Translation and Localization
The Language Doctors have provided translation and localization for medical device manufacturers for over 25 years. We understand that translating medical device content is a complex yet essential task that demands precision and expertise. Any error in translation can lead to severe consequences, including regulatory non-compliance, misinterpretation of medical information, and potential harm to patients.
Localization goes beyond mere translation by adapting content to meet each target market’s linguistic and cultural nuances. This localization includes modifying software interfaces, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and marketing materials to resonate with local users. Effective localization makes medical devices reliable and user-friendly, building trust and ensuring market acceptance.
The Language Doctors provides ISO 17100-certified translation and interpretation services in over 200 languages. Our network of 2,000+ vetted language experts is available on-demand, 24/7—connecting you to professional support in under a minute for everything from procurement translation to warehouse localization and certified interpreters.
Specialized Medical Device Translation Services
Medical device documentation translation
Clear and precise technical medical translations for user manuals, instructions for use (IFU), and product labels are crucial for the safe and effective use of medical devices. The Language Doctors ensures that these documents are accurately translated and adapted to meet each target market’s linguistic and regulatory requirements.
Medical device software localization
The Language Doctors localize software interfaces and GUIs to align with users’ cultural and linguistic preferences in each region. This process enhances usability and user experience, ensuring that healthcare professionals can operate the software efficiently and effectively.
Regulatory compliance translations
Before your products reach end-users, they must pass regulatory bodies worldwide—often requiring multiple translations for technical specifications, compliance materials, and other critical regulatory documents…
Marketing materials and promotional content
We tailor your promotional content to resonate with diverse cultural and linguistic groups. Our translations capture the nuances of your message, ensuring that it appeals to potential customers while adhering to regulatory requirements in each market.

Jeremy Nebelsick
Director of Operations for EPPA Health and The Urgency Room
At The Urgency Room, we have been very happy with our translation services since we changed over to The Language Doctors.
We have three only walk-in locations that are visited by over 100,000 patients a year and often some of them have limited English proficiency and require quality and fast interpretation.
Now, there are multiple iPads at our front desk with The Language Doctors application installed. When a patient with limited English proficiency walks in, our staff simply grabs one of the tablets, selects the needed language, and within 30 minutes or less, they are connected to an audio or audio-video interpreter. Our most frequently used languages include ASL, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong. Since we switched to TLD, we have never experienced any downtime or slow connections. The staff at The Urgency Room have been extremely happy with this improvement because they no longer worry about waiting too long for interpretation services.
I highly recommend The Language Doctors.
