The pressure to cut costs is persuading pharmaceutical firms to seek emerging market destinations, such as China, India, and Eastern Europe, for global clinical trials. Success in all markets requires clinical trial instruments that are conceptually equivalent to their original content and to all other language versions. In India alone, there are 30 different dialects, presenting significant challenges to clinical trial optimization.

"In the CT process, the terminology is truly unique to that individual trial and is filled with industry specific language and technical terms. When this material is developed for the patient participants, it has to be understandable at the most basic level so that the patient can participate appropriately. In these cases, simply having a translator in-country is not enough. They must be certified clinical translators, such as doctors or biochemists, who understand both the language of the end-user and the language of the trial. The translation of a clinical trial protocol demands a mastery of medical and pharmaceutical language."
