Welcome, Lionbridge Life Sciences Customers!

Large Language Model (AI technology).

A record of all matches and repetitions in your content.

Extra checks for translation quality.

MedDRA is a rich and highly specific standardized medical terminology to facilitate the sharing of regulatory information internationally for medical products used by humans.

Translation in which a computer program (often called Machine Translation Engine) analyses a source text and generates a translated target text.

Human task consisting of validating or post-editing the target content that Machine Translation has generated.

Protected Health/Personal Identifiable Information

Readability testing focuses on the ease with which a reader can understand a written text. Readability Testing is often needed for plain language content intended for patients or the public. Lionbridge offers Readability Testing against Health Literacy Principles and Good Lay Summary Practices.

Bilingual examination of the target language content against the source language content for its suitability for the agreed purpose.

For clinical labeling, RV validates the master English label text against local regulatory requirements or legislation of the relevant country, to ensure that all mandatory information (particulars) is on the label.

The review of source to identify areas of ambiguity, regulatory compliance, and adherence to standardized elements.

Full human review process

A database or text resource that stores “segments,” which can be sentences or paragraphs that have previously been translated. This allows for reuse of previous translation efforts and assists human translators.

Lionbridge provides expert human review, ISO-certified processes, regulatory expertise, and guaranteed quality — critical for life sciences content where accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance matter. Free tools cannot guarantee the quality, data security, or specialized expertise required for medical, clinical, and regulated content.

Lionbridge leverages AI to enhance translation speed, scale cost efficiencies, and ensure consistency in language outcomes. Our AI-powered tools support machine translation, automated quality checks, and workflow automation — always under the supervision of expert linguists.

Under our TRUST Framework, combined with our ISO-certified Quality Management System, we ensure transparent and responsible use of AI-powered translations for regulated life sciences content.

Lionbridge Life Sciences supports a wide range of industries, including Pharmaceutical, Biopharmaceutical, BioTech, and MedTech industries, as well as Contract Research and Manufacturing Organizations. Our solutions support clinical, quality, regulatory, and commercial content for products and corporate functions. They include:

• Translation to support clinical trials, including clinical labeling

• Translations, linguistic validation, cognitive debriefing, migration, and licensing services to support Clinical Outcome Assessments

• Translations to support regulatory labeling and regulatory filing

• Localization

• Multimedia (captioning, subtitling, voiceover)

• eLearning

We use a curated pool of expert linguists, supported by glossaries, style guides, and Translation Memory (TM) technology. This approach ensures consistency in terminology and formatting across all content types and languages. We offer differentiated service levels depending on your intended purpose and intended audience, including compliance with ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 standards.

TM is a tool that stores your previous translations. It helps keep your content consistent, speeds up future projects, and reduces costs when you have repeated or similar text.

We offer translation into a wide range of languages, including uncommon and rare languages, like Swahili, Icelandic, Lao, and Zulu. We also cover all major global languages and regional variants. (For example, Spanish for Spain, Latin America, or the US; French for France or Canada; Dutch for the Netherlands or Belgium.) If you have a specific market or audience, let us know. We’ll match the right variant for you.

We follow strict security protocols and comply with ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 standards for translation and post-editing. We also adhere to internal InfoSec policies. Please note: PHI (Protected Health Information) is not accepted in standard workflows. If you have special compliance needs, please let us know.

Our advanced technology and linguist network can translate many projects in hours — or even minutes. Timelines depend on word count, languages, file type, and special requirements. We’ll always provide a clear delivery estimate when you request a quote. Please note: for requests to support specific regulatory submissions or procedures within clinical or regulatory labeling or Clinical Outcome Assessments, reach out to one of our experts.

Lionbridge Language Cloud portal tracks your project’s progress anytime. Ad hoc tailored reporting can keep you informed about progress and delivery.

Absolutely! Lionbridge can create, localize, or enhance your eLearning content. We offer human and AI voiceover options, subtitles, and support for all major eLearning and multimedia formats. Our team ensures your training materials are engaging, accurate, and compliant with industry standards.

ICR means your own reviewers check the translation for accuracy and local relevance. It’s recommended for high-risk, regulated, or market-critical content.

Pricing is based on word count, language pairs, file type, service level (e.g., human review, ISO compliance), and any special requirements. Using Translation Memory, providing clear requirements, and batching projects can help reduce costs. The hub explains all options so you can make informed decisions.

A “fuzzy match” is when a segment in your new content is similar, but not identical, to a segment previously translated and stored in TM. A “log” is a record of all matches and repetitions. Fuzzy matches and logs help reduce costs, as repeated or similar content can be leveraged for discounts in your quote.
