Pharmaceutical and Medical e-Learning
Educational Material Translation Service

Human Science Co., Ltd. is a translation company that deals with all aspects of pharmaceuticals and medical care, and has been producing various forms of e-learning materials for over 20 years. Leveraging our extensive experience in both fields, we provide a one-stop solution for everything from translation to editing, narration recording, and LMS testing.
Global economic progress has led to a need for high-quality translation and speedy response in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. We offer solutions that significantly reduce the time required for localization.

Translation services specialized in the pharmaceutical and medical industry

Translation is handled by translators who are well-versed in the medical field.
Therefore, they can accurately understand and translate specialized terminology and context used in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. In these industries, a high level of expertise and compliance with regulations is required, making high-quality translation essential for e-learning materials.
At Human Science Co., Ltd., we carefully select translators and proofreaders who are knowledgeable in the pharmaceutical and medical fields to provide specialized and accurate translations.

Translator/Reviewer

Our translators are a group of elite individuals who have passed through a narrow gate with a pass rate of less than 20%.
We will provide stable progress and high-quality translation for your company's translation projects.
Additionally, at Human Science, we believe that one of the important factors that affects the quality of translation is the review (checking) process after the translation work. Therefore, we have a system in place where experienced specialized reviewers (checkers) check the entire translation. Through this process, we detect and correct errors and mistakes made by the translators during the translation stage. In addition, we improve the accuracy of the translation from a professional perspective and contribute to stabilizing the overall translation quality by coordinating the translation among multiple translators.

Localize

We will customize the translation content to fit the characteristics of Japanese laws and domestic products.
Therefore, there may be cases where we propose content adjustments from our company in the translation manuscript.
In addition, through meetings and other discussions, we will be happy to consult with you on adjustments tailored to learning goals and target audience.

Supported Translation Tools

In the pharmaceutical and medical fields, there are often cases where multiple translations of the same content are required in a short period of time, or a large amount of translation needs to be completed quickly. In such cases, it is necessary to have multiple translators working simultaneously and coordinating with each other at the task level.
At Human Science Co., Ltd., we have established a system where dedicated coordinators control multiple translators and manage projects while maintaining quality levels. We utilize translation support tools such as Trados, Phrase TMS, memoQ, and XTM Cloud.

Machine Translation/Post-edit

At Human Science, we provide translation services with a focus on machine translation in order to reduce translation costs. However, machine translation alone cannot meet the quality standards of industries such as medical and medical equipment that require specialized knowledge.
Therefore, post-editors with prior knowledge of the medical equipment, diagnosis, and treatment procedures being translated ensure the quality of the translation. With this system, we are able to provide translation services that maintain the cost benefits of machine translation while meeting the quality standards required in the pharmaceutical and medical fields.
