In medical translation, “Good Enough” is never good enough.

We all know AI is making huge strides in translation. It’s fast, it’s cost-effective — and it’s incredibly tempting to lean on for all kinds of content but when lives are on the line, there’s no room for “almost right.” Medical translations demand absolute precision — because even the smallest error can have serious, sometimes irreversible, consequences. So when the stakes are high, like in legal or medical translations, cutting corners can do far more harm than good.
As an LSP, we see it every day: the pressure to deliver faster and cheaper, especially in the medical field. But with critical healthcare information, even the smallest mistake can have life-or-death consequences.
Here’s what’s at risk:
- Patient Safety — One mistranslated dosage instruction could lead to serious injury or worse.
- Company Liability — Errors can open the door to lawsuits, regulatory fines, and missed approvals.
- Brand Trust — A single mistake can shake public confidence in your commitment to safety and compliance.
And it’s not just written translations — medical transcription is just as crucial. Capturing clinician and patient notes accurately, is already a demanding task; add translation into another language, and the margin for error widens dangerously!
