Certified Translation of Medical Records from French to English

​

If you have been to France and had to spend time in hospital or consult a GP, it is likely you will have been issued a bundle of French medical records. On your return home, you may be required to translate your medical records to English for your medical team. 

It can be difficult to know where to turn as not just anyone with a basic level of French is qualified to translate complex medical records with technical terminology. What's more, when it comes to sensitive health and medical details, would you feel comfortable uploading this to an online translation tool for anyone to access? Not to mention the uncertainty regarding quality of your translation.

​

Fortunately, when turning towards us as French Medical Translators you are guaranteed several things:

1. A professional, qualified and certified human translator;

2. Full respect of your sensitive and confidential medical information; and

3. Respect of keeping costs as low as possible.

​

Many of our clients are private individuals and are rightly worried about how much it may cost to translate often very lengthy medical records. Unlike larger translation agencies with big overheads, we are a smaller outfit. This allows us to offer a service of the same quality, whilst also controlling our costs which we then pass on to our clients. Because when you are already struggling with your health, the last thing you want is more cost!

Affordable translation of medical records from French to English

​

We also have a strong background in computing and IT.  Whilst this may not appear important for a French medical translator, it does have some significance. Often medical records are full of complex formatting and the need to replicate this in your translation is essential to proper understanding. Thanks to our solid background in DTP, we are proud to be able to produce near-identical formatting across your complex French medical records in all of our translations without any hidden costs. 

​

How long does it take to translate medical records?

The amount of time required to translate medical records will depend typically on two factors:

1. The total number of words;

2. The format of the medical records.

Here at French Medical Translators, we provide a cost and turnaround estimate within one hour following your request. Our quote is always transparent and indicates the total cost as well as the time we would need for your translation. Where possible we always strive to give priority to any documents you need more urgently and aim to always deliver early if we can. When it comes to getting a quality and accurate translation of your medical records, it is often urgent and we fully understand.

​

Are all of your medical translations certified? What exactly does that mean?

​

A certified translation is sometimes required for official purposes, such as an insurer who may need translation of medical records for an insurance claim to be certified. This is basically a stamp of accuracy of the translation professional. 

As a chartered linguist and member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, I am able to certify all translations of medical records if this is something you require. Simply let me know when placing your order for a translation, and you'll be issued with certification when delivering your final translated documents.
