Translation and localization

Chapter 28 of 291 min read

Provide translators with source context, purpose, audience, terminology, visuals, and decision-critical language. Use qualified medical translation and independent review. Back translation can identify differences but does not replace target-language comprehension and cultural review.

Check numbers, units, product names, risk terms, negation, dates, and action statements. Adapt examples and visuals where cultural meaning changes. Retest the final layout because text expansion and script direction can alter accessibility.
