Marketing translations for life science

•

Knowing when less translation is more.

Translation, localization, and optimal corresponding processes are a major challenge for global marketing in the life science industries. One must master the optimal use of terminology, brands, and advertising. Therefore, when translating marketing content, it is essential to make the right decision in each case: When does something need to be translated or adapted. When can, must, or should nothing be changed at all. “Healthineers” in 40 languages is not a good idea.

Unfortunately, invariably brand names, product names, or claims are translated – accidentally or deliberately, and usually not consistently across different marketing materials. We at Gemino have been dealing with this challenge for many years. And we have developed strategies for minimizing risks for our customers with the right mix of technology and human intelligence.

For some, offshoring is the right approach.
We prefer to focus on quality.

Resisting the trend towards offshoring, Gemino has gathered all of our core competencies in one place. In our Berlin office, project management, DTP, engineering, and cross-language quality assurance work side by side. This enables us to respond quickly and guarantee a stable level of quality.

We have in-house native speakers to help overcome the specific linguistic and cultural challenges of markets such as China and Japan, helping us communicate and solve problems at short notice across all specialist areas. The result? Your marketing material retains all of its effectiveness in the target language.
